These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form ~~10-K and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.~~10-K.

Our future results could be affected by a variety of other factors, including uncertainty of the magnitude, duration, geographic reach, impact on the global economy and current and potential travel restrictions of the COVID-19 outbreak, the current, and uncertain future, impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business, growth, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results (including components of our financial results), and cash flows and liquidity, risks relating to any unforeseen changes to or effects on liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future ~~prospects,~~prospects; the ability to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies from business acquisitions in the amounts and at the times ~~expected,~~expected; the impact of competitive ~~conditions,~~conditions; the effectiveness of pricing, advertising, and promotional programs; the success of innovation, renovation and new product introductions; the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and other ~~intangibles,~~intangibles; the success of productivity improvements and business ~~transitions,~~transitions; commodity and energy prices, transportation costs, labor costs, disruptions or inefficiencies in supply ~~chain,~~chain; the availability of and interest rates on short-term and long-term ~~financing,~~financing; the levels of spending on systems initiatives, properties, business opportunities, integration of acquired businesses, and other general and administrative ~~costs,~~costs; changes in consumer behavior and ~~preferences,~~preferences; the effect of U.S. and foreign economic conditions on items such as interest rates, statutory tax rates, currency conversion and ~~availability,~~availability; legal and regulatory factors including the impact of any product recalls; the uncertainty of the magnitude, duration, geographic reach, impact on the global economy and potential travel restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact on our business, growth, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results (including components of our financial results), and cash flows and liquidity; and business disruption or other losses from war, pandemic, terrorist acts or political unrest.

The risk factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K ~~and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q~~ could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There also may be other risks that are currently unknown to us or that we are unable to predict at this time.

~~NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

1. General

Description of Business

Weber Inc. ~~(“Weber,~~and its subsidiaries (collectively “Weber,” the “Company,” ~~“we,”~~“we” and “our”), a Delaware corporation, was formed in April 2021 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its Class A common stock, facilitating organizational transactions and to operate the business of Weber HoldCo LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company historically conducted its business through Weber-Stephen Products LLC prior to the IPO. Following the Company's IPO in August 2021, Weber Inc. is a holding company and its sole asset is a controlling equity interest in Weber HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed in April 2021. As part of the IPO and other associated transactions (collectively referred to as the “Reorganization Transactions”), Weber-Stephen Products LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Weber HoldCo LLC, and will continue as the primary operating company.

~~Weber, together with its subsidiaries,~~ is an outdoor cooking company in the global outdoor cooking market. Our product portfolio includes traditional charcoal grills, gas grills, smokers, pellet grills, electric grills and related accessories. Our full range of products ~~are~~is sold in 78 countries.

We are headquartered in Palatine, Illinois, and our stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “WEBR.”

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On December 11, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ribeye Parent, LLC (“Parent”) and Ribeye Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of BDT Capital Partners LLC. BDT Capital Partners LLC will acquire all of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock (other than (i) shares of Class A common stock held by BDT Capital Partners

I-A Holdings, LLC and BDT WSP Holdings, LLC, (ii) any shares of common stock canceled pursuant to the Merger

Agreement and (iii) any dissenting shares of Class A common stock) for $8.05 per share in cash.

The Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions. Subject to the satisfaction (or if applicable, waiver) of such conditions, the Merger is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2023.

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Weber Inc. were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) for interim reporting. In management’s opinion, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of financial position, operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~Principles of Consolidation~~

~~The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.~~ Weber HoldCo LLC is considered a variable interest entity. Weber Inc. is the primary beneficiary of Weber HoldCo LLC and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of this entity. As a result, Weber Inc. consolidates the financial statements of Weber HoldCo LLC. ~~All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.~~ Noncontrolling interests reflect the entitlement of the owners of Weber-Stephen Products LLC’s outstanding equity interests prior to the IPO (“Pre-IPO LLC Members”) to a portion of Weber HoldCo LLC’s net (loss) income.

As the Reorganization Transactions are considered transactions between entities under common control, the condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the IPO and the Reorganization Transactions have been adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes. Prior to the Reorganization Transactions, Weber Inc. had no operations.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year runs from October 1 through September 30. All references to years are to fiscal years unless otherwise stated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The effect of the change in the estimates will be recognized in the current period of the change.

Seasonality

Although the Company generally has demand for its products throughout the year, the Company’s sales have historically experienced some seasonality. The Company has typically experienced its highest level of sales of its products

~~Table of Contents~~

in the second and third fiscal quarters as retailers across North America and Europe ~~changeover~~change over their floor sets, build inventory and fulfill consumer demand for outdoor cooking products. Sales are typically lower during the first and fourth fiscal quarters, with the exception of the Australia/New Zealand business which is counter seasonal to the balance of the business.

Accounts Receivable

~~Sales of Accounts Receivable~~Receivables Purchase Agreement

~~During the second quarter of fiscal year~~In March 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain trade accounts receivable to a ~~third-party~~third party financial institution (“Receivables Purchase Agreement”). The Receivables Purchase Agreement results in the transfer of the trade accounts receivable and associated risks to the third party and provides the third party with the full benefits and burdens of ownership in exchange for cash proceeds to the Company. The trade accounts receivable transferred are accounted for as sales of receivables as they ~~have~~had satisfied the required criteria under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860,Transfers and Servicing, and ~~are~~were de-recognized from the Company’s ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance sheets. The maximum receivables that may be sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement at any time is $235.0 million.

~~The Company has~~ There were no ~~retained interest in the~~ trade accounts receivable sold, however, the Company does have collection and administrative responsibilities for the sold trade accounts receivable. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2022 in conjunction with the Receivables Purchase Agreement as the fair value of these servicing arrangements and fees earned were not material.

~~Trade~~ accounts receivable sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement ~~were $115.9 million for both~~during the ~~three and six months~~quarter ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2022. The~~2022 as the third party under the Receivables Purchase Agreement had previously informed the Company that, as permitted by the terms of the agreement, it would not be purchasing trade accounts receivable ~~sold~~for an unspecified period of time. There can be no assurance that ~~remained outstanding as of March 31, 2022 was $115.9 million. The net proceeds received during~~ the ~~six months ended March 31, 2022 were included in Net cash used in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the~~third party will begin purchasing trade accounts receivable ~~sold and the sum of the cash received was $0.4 million for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and was recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in Other expense~~ in the ~~condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no sales of accounts receivable prior to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.~~near term, or at all.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from its normal business activities, offset by an allowance for expected credit losses. The Company estimates its expected credit losses based on historical experience, the aging of accounts receivable, consideration of current economic conditions and its expectations of future economic conditions. Additionally, the Company establishes customer-specific allowances for known at-risk accounts. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. Accounts receivable are written off when it is determined that the receivable will not be collected.

The Company estimates its expected credit losses based on historical experience, the aging of accounts receivable, consideration of current economic conditions and its expectations of future economic conditions. The allowance for expected credit losses was ~~$2.7~~$3.5 million and ~~$2.6~~$3.6 million as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

2. ~~Acquisitions~~

~~June Acquisition~~

On January 12, 2021, the Company acquired all of the remaining outstanding stock of June Life, Inc. ("June"), a smart appliance and technology company.

~~Cash~~	$	~~108,285~~
~~Fair value of equity interest~~	~~24,144~~

Prior to the acquisition, the Company held an existing equity interest in June, which was historically accounted for as an equity method investment. Additionally, the Company had a license and development agreement with June to license certain software and other technology owned by June and adapt this technology to certain products of the Company. The license and development agreement included provisions for the Company to pay June royalties at varying rates based on the quantities and type of product sold containing the licensed technology. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an equity method loss of $1.4 million, with an offsetting decrease in its investment in June. At acquisition, the Company remeasured the fair value of its existing equity interest, which exceeded the carrying amount of the investment and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $6.9 million. The gain offset with the equity method loss of $1.4 million was recorded within Gain from investments in unconsolidated affiliates during the six months ended March 31, 2021.

Upon completion of the merger agreement, June became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At the time of acquisition, the fair value of the existing equity interest totaled $24.1 million, which was based on per share prices paid to the sellers of common stock and preferred stock on acquisition.

The June license and development agreement, was deemed to be an existing contractual relationship. As a result of the business combination, the Company recorded this arrangement as consideration at its January 12, 2021 fair value, which resulted in an increase in goodwill of $9.8 million.

The results of operations for June have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date, which were not material. June operations are reflected within the Americas reportable segment. Actual and pro forma revenue and results of operations for the acquisition have not been presented because they do not have a material impact to the Company’s net sales and results of operations, either individually or in aggregate.

The March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheets include the assets and liabilities of June, which have been measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

~~The allocation of purchase price recorded for June was as follows (dollars in thousands):~~


~~Cash~~	$	~~6,046~~
~~Inventory~~	~~480~~
~~Accounts receivable~~	85

~~Total~~	$	~~142,205~~

~~The above fair values of assets acquired and liabilities are based on the information that was available as of the reporting date.~~

The goodwill of $53.2 million represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including an experienced workforce and expected future synergies. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company recorded a reduction to accrued expenses of $1.3 million, with a corresponding decrease to goodwill, resulting from a change in the fair value of a liability.

The Company recognized $24.5 million of deferred tax liabilities due to the acquisition of June. The deferred tax liabilities have been recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

~~The gross carrying amounts allocated to intangible assets were as follows (dollars in thousands):~~


~~Trade names and trademarks~~	$	~~17,000~~
~~Developed software / patented technology~~	~~87,000~~
~~Non-competition / restrictive covenant agreements~~	~~5,700~~
~~Total~~	$	~~109,700~~

~~The useful lives assigned to intangible assets were as follows (in years):~~


			~~Useful~~ ~~Lives~~
~~Trade names and trademarks~~			~~20.0~~
~~Developed software / patented technology~~			~~15.0~~
~~Non-competition / restrictive covenant agreements~~			~~3.0~~
~~Total weighted average useful life~~			~~15.2~~

Developed software/patented technology were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”). Intangible assets consisting of trade names and trademarks and non-competition/ restrictive covenant agreements were valued using the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method and lost income method, respectively. In many cases, the determination of fair values required estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental and subject to change.

~~As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized $1.2 million of acquisition-related costs.~~

~~RMC Acquisition~~

On April 1, 2021, the Company acquired all aspects of the operations of R McDonald Co. Pty. Ltd. (“RMC”), that supported the Company’s business units in Australia and New Zealand. This included certain fixed assets, members of the RMC workforce and their related employment liabilities and the reacquired right to sell and market the Company’s products. RMC, a marketing and distribution company, had historically provided operational and marketing support to

~~Table of Contents~~

~~operate the Weber Australia and Weber New Zealand businesses on behalf of the Company. The primary purpose of the acquisition was to re-acquire those operational and marketing rights.~~

~~The composition of the purchase price recorded for RMC was as follows (dollars in thousands):~~


~~Cash~~	$	~~26,275~~
~~Equity consideration issued by the Company~~	~~14,582~~
~~Total~~	$	~~40,857~~

Prior to the acquisition, the Company had a preexisting contractual agreement with RMC which provided RMC the exclusive rights to sell, market, and distribute barbecue grills and accessories in Australia and New Zealand. With the acquisition, the effective settlement of this agreement resulted in the Company reacquiring rights to sell, market, and distribute products in Australia and New Zealand. In addition, RMC had a contractual agreement to provide administrative support services to the Company’s Australian and New Zealand businesses, as well as a licensing agreement for RMC to use certain trademarks of the Company. The transaction resulted in no gain or loss as the contractual terms of these agreements were at market.

The results of operations for RMC have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date, which were not material. RMC operations are reflected within the Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) reportable segment. Actual and pro forma revenue and results of operations for the acquisition have not been presented because they do not have a material impact to the Company’s net sales and results of operations, either individually or in aggregate.

The March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheets include the assets and liabilities of RMC, which have been measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

~~The allocation of purchase price recorded for RMC was as follows (dollars in thousands):~~


~~Property and equipment~~	$	~~432~~
~~Reacquired rights~~	~~14,300~~
~~Other long-term assets~~	~~410~~
~~Goodwill~~	~~27,120~~
~~Accrued expenses~~	~~(1,405)~~
~~Total~~	$	~~40,857~~

~~The above fair values of assets acquired and liabilities are based on the information that was available as of the reporting date.~~

The goodwill of $27.1 million represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including an experienced workforce and expected future synergies. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In the period subsequent to acquisition, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $0.4 million in its acquisition of RMC, with a corresponding decrease to goodwill.

The reacquired rights were valued using MPEEM. The useful life of the reacquired rights were estimated to be 3.3 years. The determination of fair values required estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental and subject to change.

~~As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized approximately $0.3 million of acquisition-related costs.~~

6. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating variable interest rates under the Secured Credit Facility on Interest expense, net within its reported operating results. As cash flow hedges, the interest rate swaps are revalued at current market rates, with the changes in valuation reflected directly in Other comprehensive (loss) income, to the extent that the hedge is effective. The gains or losses on the interest rate swaps reported in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in equity are reclassified into Interest expense, net in the periods in which the monthly interest settlement is paid on the interest rate swap.

The notional values of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap contracts were as follows:

Interest rate swap contracts	$	1,220,000	$	1,220,000

On October 30, 2020, the Company completed a series of transactions to amend and extend certain interest rate swap agreements by an additional three years. These interest rate swap transactions consisted of the following: (i) $360.0 million of the interest rate swaps were de-designated as cash flow hedges, (ii) the Company entered into a $360.0 million pay-variable ~~received-fixed~~receive-fixed interest rate swap which was designed to economically offset the terms of the $360.0 million of swaps in (i) and which are not designated as cash flow hedges, and (iii) the Company entered into a $500.0 million new pay-fixed interest rate swap with an extended maturity. The new pay-fixed interest rate ~~swaps~~swap is considered a hybrid instrument with a financing component and an embedded at-market derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge (see discussion of cash flow presentation below).

At the time of the de-designation of the above $360.0 million in interest rate swaps, there was approximately $38.2 million of unrealized losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. This amount is amortized to interest expense through the remaining term of the original de-designated swaps unless it becomes probable that the cash flows originally hedged will not occur, in which case the proportionate amount of the loss will be recorded to interest expense at that time. The $360.0 million of interest rate swaps de-designated as cash flows hedges and the $360.0 million of offsetting swaps will be marked to market with changes in fair value recognized, along with the fixed and variable payments on these swaps, in interest expense which are expected to nearly offset each other. The Company presents the derivatives on a gross basis on the balance sheet.

The $500.0 million pay-fixed interest rate swap is a hybrid instrument in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, consisting of a financing component and an embedded at-market derivative. The financing component is accounted for at amortized cost over the life of the swap while the embedded at-market derivative is accounted for at fair value on the balance sheet and designated as a cash flow hedge. This $500.0 million swap is indexed to one-month LIBOR and is net settled on a monthly basis with the counterparty for the difference between the fixed rate of 2.2025% and the variable rate based upon one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) as applied to the notional amount of the swap. In connection with the transactions discussed above, no cash was exchanged between the Company and the counterparty. The

liability of the terminated interest rate swaps as well as the inception value of the receive-fixed interest rate swap was blended into the new pay-fixed interest rate swap. Cash settlements related to interest rate contracts will generally be classified as operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The cash flows related to the portion of the hybrid instrument treated as debt are classified as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows while the portion treated as an at-market derivative is classified as operating activities.

See Note 10 for further information.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating variable foreign currency denominated cash flows impacting Gross profit within its reported operating results. When entered, these financial instruments are designated as cash flow hedges of underlying exposures and de-designated when the foreign currency denominated sale of inventory is made to a third party. As cash flow hedges, the forward contracts are revalued at current foreign exchange rates with the changes in the valuation reflected directly in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, to the extent that the hedge is effective. The gains or losses on the forward contracts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in equity (deficit) are reclassified into Cost of goods sold in the period or periods in which the foreign currency denominated sale of inventory is made to a third party and the contracts are de-designated. The gains or losses from changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts de-designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in Foreign currency ~~loss~~ (gain). loss. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts that economically hedge its risk on foreign currency denominated receivables. The gains or losses from changes in fair value on these contracts are recorded in Foreign currency ~~loss~~ (gain). loss. Cash settlements related to forward currency forward contracts are classified as operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Commodity Index Contracts

The Company ~~uses~~used commodity index contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in cash flows relating to the purchases of aluminum and steel-based components and raw materials impacting Gross profit. The commodity index contracts ~~are~~were accounted for as financial instruments and the Company did not apply hedge accounting. There were no outstanding commodity index contracts as of December 31, 2022.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Using derivative instruments means assuming counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk relates to the loss the Company could incur if a counterparty were to default on a derivative contract. The Company deals with only investment-grade counterparties and monitors the overall credit risk and exposure to individual counterparties. The Company did not experience any nonperformance by a counterparty during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 or 2021. The Company did not require, nor did it post, collateral or security on such contracts.

7. Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes,, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate at the end of each interim period, and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjusts the rate as necessary. As of March 31, 2022, the Company applied its estimated annual effective tax rate of (47.6)%, including the impact of discrete items, to its loss before taxes of $89.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022, resulting in income tax expense of $67.2 million and $36.8 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. This resulted in effective tax rates of 422.5% and (41.4)% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to the federal statutory rate of 21.0%.

As a result of the seasonality of the sales of the Company's products, the Income (loss) before taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2022 is lower than the projected Income (loss) before taxes for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, resulting in the recorded income tax expense. The effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate primarily due to the unfavorable adjustments for noncontrolling interest for Weber Inc.'s allocable share of Weber HoldCo LLC's net loss and its branch income.

The Company recorded income tax expense of ~~$15.2 million and $15.4~~$5.1 million for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2021, respectively, resulting~~2022, primarily related to the tax expense incurred in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, which resulted in an effective tax ~~rates~~rate of ~~19.7% and 18.4%~~(4.7)%, ~~respectively,~~ as compared to the federal statutory rate of 21.0%. The difference in the effective tax rate was due to ~~nontaxable U.S. flow-through income and a discrete benefit resulting from our United Kingdom and South Africa valuation allowance releases. This benefit was partially offset by~~ foreign taxes owed by foreign ~~subsidiaries.~~subsidiaries, previously established valuation allowances on U.S. and certain foreign pre-tax losses and changes in existing uncertain tax positions.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $30.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.0%, as compared to the federal statutory rate of 21.0%. The effective tax rate was higher than the statutory rate due to foreign taxes owed by foreign subsidiaries, uncertain tax positions and increases on certain previously established valuation allowances. These unfavorable expenses were partially offset by a noncontrolling interest benefit to adjust for Weber Inc.'s allocable share of Weber HoldCo LLC's net loss for the quarter.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Warranty

The Company offers warranties on most of its products. The specific terms and conditions of the warranties offered by the Company vary depending upon the product sold. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty plans and the period for which claims are honored, and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, the type of products sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Contingent Consideration

As part of the acquisition of all aspects of the business related to iGrill and Kitchen Thermometer products from iDevices, LLC (“iDevices”), the Company has future cash payments due to iDevices in conjunction with an earn-out and development agreement. Under this agreement, the Company paid iDevices a minimum of $8.0 million, and then must pay

~~Table of Contents~~

additional royalty payments at fixed rates on iGrill and Kitchen Thermometer products sold for a total of 10 years or up to $15.0 million, whichever comes first. Under the terms of the earn-out and development agreement, the Company paid $0.1 million during both the ~~six~~three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was ~~$0.4 million and $0.5~~$0.6 million at ~~March~~both December 31, 2022 and September 30, ~~2021, respectively.~~2022. The fair value of these estimated future cash payments was based on valuation methods and management’s best estimates and was recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

~~Europe Manufacturing Facility~~

During October 2021, the Company executed an agreement to expand the Europe Manufacturing Facility in Poland. The Company does not control the asset under construction, and is therefore not deemed the accounting owner of the asset under construction.

The lease term is 14 years and will commence upon completion of the building, which is expected to occur during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Upon commencement, the Company will record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. In addition, the Company has options to extend the lease term for five-year periods as allowed by local laws and regulatory requirements. The annual cash rental payments due under the lease agreement during the first year will be approximately $1.2 million. The lease also requires the Company to pay real estate taxes and maintenance costs on the facility. No lease payments were made during the six months ended March 31, 2022.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to a variety of investigations, claims, suits and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business including, but not limited to, intellectual property, employment, tort and breach of contract ~~matters.~~matters, as well as securities litigation. The Company currently believes that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, cash flows, financial position or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and management’s view of these matters and their potential effects may change in the future.

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

With respect to financial assets and liabilities, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

•Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The Company had interest rate swap contracts held with financial institutions as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, classified as Level 2 financial instruments, which are valued using observable underlying interest rates and market-determined risk premiums at the reporting date.

The Company had ~~foreign currency forward~~commodity index contracts held with financial institutions as of September 30, 2021, classified as Level 2 financial instruments, which were valued using observable forward foreign exchange rates at the reporting date. There were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts as of March 31, 2022.

~~The Company had commodity index contracts held with financial institutions as of March 31,~~ 2022, ~~and September 30, 2021,~~ classified as Level 2 financial instruments, which are valued using observable commodity index rates at the reporting date.

The Company had a contingent consideration liability as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, classified as a Level 3 instrument, in conjunction with its acquisition of all aspects of the business related to iGrill and Kitchen Thermometer products from iDevices. The fair value of these estimated future cash payments was determined based on valuation methods and estimates of future cash flows. See Note 8 for further details.

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for the variable rate, revolving loan facility also approximate its fair value. The fair value of the fixed rate debt is not readily determinable, because the information is not available.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

The Weber Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) provides for the issuance of up to 22,694,608 shares of Class A common stock in connection with equity awards granted under the 2021 Plan. The Company ~~had~~has three types of share-based compensation awards outstanding under the 2021 Plan: profits interest awards, options and ~~RSUs.~~restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

~~Table of Contents~~

Profits Interest Awards

Prior to the Company's IPO, the Company granted profits interest units with vesting periods ranging from one to five years to certain key employees in consideration for their services to or for the benefit of the Company. A portion of the profits interest units vest based on service and a portion of the awards based on service as well as the Company’s achievement of certain performance objectives associated with net sales (“hybrid units”).

The profits interest units have distribution thresholds determined on a per common unit in Weber HoldCo LLC (“LLC unit”) basis with the holder receiving, upon exercise, a value in LLC units equal to the difference between the current fair value per LLC unit less the distribution threshold. Therefore, the distribution thresholds serve as a cashless exercise price, with holders receiving their share of the value of the Company’s implied equity value in excess of the distribution threshold. Once vested, the profits interests represent profits interest ownership in the Company tied solely to the accretion, if any, in the value of the Company in excess of the distribution threshold.

During fiscal year 2022, Weber Inc. paid ~~a dividend of $0.04 per share~~dividends to holders of Class A common ~~stock on both December 17, 2021 and March 8, 2022.~~stock. Profits interest units that were outstanding at the time of the dividends were adjusted pursuant to pre-existing anti-dilution provisions in the Company’s equity incentive plan documents. The adjustments reduced the distribution thresholds of outstanding profits interest units by the amount of the dividend per share. The adjustments did not result in incremental stock-based compensation expense as the anti-dilutive adjustments were required by pre-existing terms included within the awards. There were no changes to the profits interest units distribution thresholds during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Options

During the ~~six~~three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted options to certain employees of the Company. Options are awarded with an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of the grant and become exercisable in one to three years after grant. Options expire ten years after the date of grant. The Company granted 1,038,866 options during the six months ended March 31, 2022. The weighted average exercise price of the options granted was $18.05 per option and the weighted average fair value was $7.06 per option. During the six months ended MarchDecember 31, 2022, zero options ~~vested~~were granted and ~~58,651~~168,115 options ~~were forfeited. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding options had an intrinsic value of zero.~~vested.

The fair value and corresponding stock-based compensation expense for options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the options as of March 31, 2022, were as follows:


~~Expected term (in years)~~	~~6.0~~
~~Risk-free interest rate~~	~~1.24~~	%
~~Expected volatility~~	~~39.01~~	%
~~Expected dividend yield~~	—	%

The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected holding period. The Company assumed a dividend yield of zero percent when valuing the options because, as of the grant date, the Company did not have a history of paying dividends. Expected volatility is based on the expected volatility of comparable peer companies that are publicly traded. The expected term represents the period of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company elected to use the simplified method to estimate the expected holding period because there is not sufficient information to estimate post-vesting exercise behavior. As such, the Company will continue to use this methodology until there is sufficient history to provide a reasonable basis on which to estimate the expected term.

As of March 31, 2022, there was $4.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years.

~~Restricted Stock Units~~RSUs

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 the Company granted RSUs to certain employees of the Company. The RSUs vest over a period ranging from ~~three months~~one year to three years. The RSUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying shares of Class A common stock as the Company declares dividends. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of RSUs in cash upon the vesting date of the associated RSU and will be forfeited if the RSU does not vest. RSUs that were converted from equity awards outstanding prior to the Company’s IPO do not accrue dividends until they are fully vested. The fair value of the RSU awards was calculated utilizing the closing day stock price on the date of grant. ~~No RSUs were granted or outstanding during the six months ended March 31, 2021.~~ Upon vesting of the award, the Company will issue shares of Class A common stock to the award holder. At the time of issuance, the Company will typically withhold the number of shares to satisfy the statutory withholding tax obligation and deliver the net number of resulting shares vested to award holder.

The following tables summarize the Company’s RSUs and activity during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022:

(1)For RSUs granted after the Company's IPO, the settlement of awards occurs on the vesting date. For RSUs that were converted from Pre-IPO Management Incentive Compensation Plan awards, the post vesting settlement of awards can occur up to ten years after the vesting date.

As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, there was ~~$43.1~~$41.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~0.8~~0.9 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In ~~August 2021,~~December 2022, the ~~Board~~Compensation Committee approved the termination of ~~Directors approved~~ the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase, through payroll deductions, a limited number of shares of Class A common stock during pre-specified offering periods at a discount established by the Company's Compensation Committee. The purchase price will be equal to the lesser of (i) 85% of the fair market value of a share on the first trading day of the offering period and (ii) 85% of the fair market value of a share on the applicable purchase date. For the ESPP, a total of 9,077,843 shares of Class A common stock, which was effective immediately. There were ~~reserved for issuance and~~ no shares ~~have been issued during the six months ended March 31, 2022. Withholding periods began on January 1, 2022.~~

The ESPP is accounted for as a compensatory plan since the number of shares a participant is permitted to purchase is not fixed based on the stock price at the beginning of the offering period and the expected withholdings. The ESPP enables a participant to “buy-up” to the plan’s share limit, if the stock price is lower on the purchase date. As a result, the fair value of the awards grantedpurchased under the ESPP ~~is calculated using~~during the ~~Black-Scholes option pricing model at the beginning of each offering period as the sum of:~~three months ended December 31, 2022.

•~~15% of the share price of an unvested share at the beginning of the offering period,~~

•~~85% of the fair market value of a six-month call on the unvested share aforementioned, and~~

•~~15% of the fair market value of a six-month put on the unvested share aforementioned.~~

13. Noncontrolling Interests

The noncontrolling interests balance represents the economic interests in Weber HoldCo LLC held by the Pre-IPO LLC Members. The following table summarizes the ownership of LLC Units in Weber HoldCo LLC as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022:


		LLC Units	Ownership Percentage			LLC Units	Ownership Percentage
LLC Units held by Weber Inc.	LLC Units held by Weber Inc.	52,834,735	18	%	LLC Units held by Weber Inc.	53,738,392	19	%
Units held by Pre-IPO LLC Members	Units held by Pre-IPO LLC Members	234,609,825	82	%	Units held by Pre-IPO LLC Members	234,476,377	81	%
Balance at end of period	Balance at end of period	287,444,560	100	%	Balance at end of period	288,214,769	100	%

The noncontrolling interest holders have the right to exchange an LLC unit along with a share of Class B common stock ("Paired Interests") for Class A common stock. As such, future exchanges of Paired Interests by noncontrolling interest holders will result in a change in ownership and decrease or increase the amount recorded as noncontrolling interests and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital when Weber HoldCo LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022, ~~Pre-IPO~~pre-IPO LLC members exchanged ~~35,394~~30,259 Paired Interests for Class A common stock.

14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Weber Inc. by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding during the period includes both the weighted average of Class A common stock outstanding as well as the weighted average of vested RSUs outstanding during the period. Shares of Class B common stock do not share in earnings and are not participating securities. Accordingly, separate presentation of earnings (loss) per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by giving effect to the potentially dilutive weighted average impact of profits interest awards, options, RSUs and HoldCo

LLC Units that are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock when paired with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock.

Prior to the IPO, the Weber-Stephen Products LLC structure included only LLC common units issued and outstanding to pre-IPO LLC members. The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per unit for periods prior to the IPO and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these ~~condensed~~ ~~consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for the prior period.~~

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company received $10.6 million from certain borrowers for repayment of the outstanding balance, including accrued interest, of partial recourse member notes and $0.8 million for repayment of the outstanding balance, including accrued interest, of full recourse member notes. As partial recourse notes were not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the repayment of the partial recourse notes was accounted for as an equity issuance of the 1,072,849 LLC units (along with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock).

The Company recognized zero and $1.1 million in stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, related to the repayment of partial recourse notes, as the early repayment was considered a modification to the loan term of the partial recourse notes. The Company recognized zero and $0.4 million in unit-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, related to the issuance of partial recourse notes. The total amount due from members on the notes receivable, including interest, was zero and $11.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” should be read for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Our fiscal year end is September 30, and our fiscal quarters end on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30. ~~Our fiscal years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are referred to herein as Fiscal Year 2022, Fiscal Year 2021 and Fiscal Year 2020, respectively.~~

Our Company

Weber Inc. ~~(“Weber,~~and its subsidiaries (collectively “Weber,” the “Company,” ~~“we,”~~“we” and “our”)~~, together with its subsidiaries,~~ is the leading outdoor cooking company in the global outdoor cooking market. Our founder George Stephen, Sr., established the outdoor cooking category when he invented the original charcoal grill ~~nearly~~ 70 years ago. In the decades since, we have built a loyal and global following of both grilling enthusiasts and barbecue professionals in backyards all around the world. Our product portfolio includes traditional charcoal grills, gas grills, smokers, pellet and electric grills and recently our Weber Connect™ technology-enabled grills. Our full range of products ~~are~~is sold in 78 countries through an omni-channel network that consists of wholesale, direct-to-consumer and e-commerce.

We operate in the global outdoor cooking market, which is comprised of outdoor products that include gas grills, charcoal grills, wood pellet grills, electric grills, smokers, grilling accessories and solid fuel products (including charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, pellets, and wood chips and chunks). Our mission at Weber is to lead the outdoor cooking industry by innovating breakthrough new products and services that enhance our global consumers’ grilling experiences. Our purpose is to ignite inspiration and discovery through everything we do, at every touchpoint with our consumers. Grilling is about making delicious food, bringing people together and creating memories.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section titled ~~"Risk Factors"~~“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Economic Conditions

Demand for our products is significantly affected by a number of economic factors impacting our customers and consumers, such as the availability of credit, consumer confidence and spending, demographic trends, employment levels and other macroeconomic factors (e.g., lockdowns, government mandates, etc.) that may influence the extent to which consumers invest in household products such as grills, and associated accessories, consumables and services. In recent months, there has been a slowdown in retail traffic, both in-store and online, which the Company believes is due to rising inflation, supply chain constraints, higher fuel prices and geopolitical uncertainty. These market factors are expected to continue and therefore continue to have a material adverse impact on our results of operation.

The Company ~~is monitoring~~continues to monitor developments in Russia and Ukraine as well as financial and economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries. In March 2022, the Company suspended operations in Russia, including cessations of imports into Russia, sales to retailers in Russia and e-commerce activity in Russia. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company commenced activities to liquidate its on-hand inventory. While the conflict has negatively impacted our results of operations for the three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022, the Company's net sales and total assets in Russia represented less than 1% of our total consolidated net sales and total assets.

Impact of Inflation

Changing costs of inbound freight, materials, components, equipment, labor and other inputs used to manufacture and sell our products and logistics costs, in particular, have impacted and may in the future impact operating costs and, accordingly, may affect the prices of our products. We are involved in continuing programs to mitigate the impact of cost increases through identification of sourcing and manufacturing efficiencies where possible. However, we may not be able to fully mitigate or pass through the increases in our operating costs, and rising prices could also affect demand for our products. Additionally, rising inflation has negatively impacted retail traffic and may continue to do so in the future.

Table of Contents

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates

We conduct business in various locations throughout the world and are subject to market risk due to changes in value of foreign currencies in relation to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. The functional currencies of our foreign operating locations are generally the local currency in the country, however, our results of operations and assets and liabilities are reported in U.S. dollars and thus will fluctuate with changes in exchange rates between such local currencies and the U.S. dollar. Additionally, because our consolidated financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, the translation of sales or earnings generated in other currencies into U.S. dollars can result in a significant increase or decrease in the amount of those sales or earnings in our financial statements, which also affects the comparability of our results of operations and cash flows between financial periods.

Seasonality/Weather

Although we generally have demand for our products throughout the year, our sales have historically experienced some seasonality. We have typically experienced our highest level of sales of our products in the second and third fiscal quarters as retailers across North America and Europe ~~changeover~~change over their floor sets, build inventory and fulfill consumer demand for outdoor cooking products. Sales are typically lower during our first and fourth fiscal quarters, with the exception of our Australia/ New Zealand business, which is ~~counter seasonal~~counter-seasonal to the balance of our business. We have a long track record of investing in our business throughout the year, including in operating expenses, working capital and other growth initiatives. We typically borrow under our short-term revolving facility in the first and second fiscal quarters to fund working capital for building up inventory in anticipation of the higher demand we experience in the second and third fiscal quarters. While these investments drive performance during the primary selling season in our second and third fiscal quarters, they generally have a negative impact on cash flow and net income during our first and fourth fiscal quarters. Unfavorable weather during our higher sales season can also have a material adverse impact on our results, and can cause shifts in sales across fiscal quarters. ~~A few examples are colder, wetter weather patterns during the key second and third~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~fiscal quarters in North America and Europe, or drought conditions leading to wildfires similar to what Australia experienced in early Fiscal Year 2020.~~

Impact of ~~COVID-19~~Pandemic

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have focused on protecting our employees’ health and safety, meeting our customers’ needs as they navigate an uncertain financial and operating environment, working closely with our suppliers to protect our ongoing business operations and rapidly adjusting our short-, medium- and long-term operational plans to proactively and effectively respond to the current and potential future public health crises. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to present concerns for our business and operations, our employees and their families, our customers and our suppliers, we believe that we have adapted well to the wide-ranging changes that the global economy is currently undergoing. We remain confident in our business continuity strategy, our ability to produce and sell our products safely and our financial flexibility even in the event of a potentially extended economic downturn. For further discussion of the risks raised by the COVID-19 pandemic, see the section titled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Although we have implemented measures to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, these measures may not be fully effective. We cannot predict the degree to, or the period over, which we will be affected by the pandemic and resulting governmental and other measures. The economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to affect demand for our products in the foreseeable future. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

~~The severity, magnitude and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain.~~ We continue to ~~actively~~ monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and adjust our mitigation strategies as necessary to address any changing health, operational or financial risks that may arise. After the onset of the pandemic, we experienced a significant increase in demand for our grills and accessories. While this demand has since moderated, we will continue to manage our production ~~capacity during this period of volatility.~~capacity. We continue to monitor the business for adverse impacts of the pandemic, including volatility in the foreign exchange markets, supply chain disruptions in certain markets and potential disruptions in certain countries. In the event we experience adverse impacts from the above or other factors, we would also evaluate the need to perform interim impairment tests for our goodwill, intangible assets and property, equipment and leasehold improvements. There can be no assurance that volatility and/or disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

~~Impact of Inflation~~

Changing costs of inbound freight, materials, components, equipment, labor and other inputs used to manufacture and sell our products and logistics costs, in particular, have impacted and may in the future impact operating costs and, accordingly, may affect the prices of our products. We are involved in continuing programs to mitigate the impact of cost increases through identification of sourcing and manufacturing efficiencies where possible. However, we may not be able to fully mitigate or pass through the increases in our operating costs and rising prices could also affect demand for our products.

~~Items Impacting Comparability~~

~~Business Combinations~~

~~RMC Acquisition.~~ April 1, 2021, the Company acquired all aspects of the operations of R McDonald Co. Pty. Ltd. (“RMC”), that supported the Company’s business units in Australia and New Zealand. This included certain fixed assets, members of the RMC workforce and their related employment liabilities and the reacquired right to sell and market the Company’s products. The primary purpose of the acquisition was to re-acquire those operational and marketing rights. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and RMC was acquired for approximately $26.3 million in cash and $14.6 million in equity.

~~June Acquisition.~~On January 12, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of June Life, Inc. (“June”), a smart appliance and technology company. The acquisition aligns with the Company’s strategy of revolutionizing the outdoor cooking experience through connected products, services and experiences that make grilling the perfect meal simple with our smartphone-enabled step-by-step cooking experience. Weber Connect, powered by June OS, is our award-winning smart cooking software solution developed with June. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and June was acquired for aggregate consideration of $142.2 million, including $108.3 million of cash.

~~Gain on Disposal of Assets Held for Sale~~

During Fiscal Year 2020, the Company determined that one of our manufacturing sites was considered to be assets held for sale, since the asset group was being marketed for sale and all the criteria to be classified as held for sale under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, ~~Property, Plant and Equipment~~, had been met. The related buildings and its content were vacated and we no longer required these assets for our future operations. The carrying value of these assets was $8.3 million as of September 30, 2020. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell. On December 30, 2020, we disposed of this manufacturing site, for net cash proceeds of $13.5 million, which resulted in a gain of $5.2 million.

~~Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt~~

On October 30, 2020, the Company retired its existing senior credit facility and entered into a new credit facility (“Secured Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions and investors. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $5.4 million loss from early extinguishment of debt, of which $4.1 million related to the term loan of the Company’s senior credit facility and $1.3 million related to revolving credit facility of the senior credit facility, representing a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

Components of our Operating Results

We consider a variety of financial and operating measures in assessing the performance of our business. The key U.S. GAAP measures we use are net sales, gross profit, ~~income (loss)~~loss from operations and net ~~(loss) income.~~loss.

Net Sales

We offer a broad range of products that consist of grills, accessories and consumables. Sales are recorded net of related discounts, allowances and taxes to be submitted to third parties. We discuss the net sales of our products in our three reportable segments, as defined below.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit is calculated by taking net sales less cost of goods sold, which includes the cost of direct materials, labor, purchased finished products and components, inbound freight, packaging, warranty and depreciation. Gross margin is defined as gross profit as a percentage of net sales.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of research and development, marketing, advertising and selling costs; non-manufacturing employee compensation and benefit costs; transportation costs of delivering our product to customers and the costs associated with a network of warehousing facilities to house inventory until the point of sale; outside services and fees; legal, insurance, accounting, audit and other administrative expenses; and general corporate infrastructure costs.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest on our borrowings, including our credit facilities (term loans and revolving facilities), overdraft facility and charges for limited standby letters of credit. Interest expense, net also includes the amortization of deferred financing costs associated with our credit facilities, current year impacts of interest rate swap transactions, as well as interest resulting from a financing obligation under a sale-leaseback arrangement. Interest expense is offset by our interest income, consisting of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Reportable Segments

We operate and manage our business in three reportable segments: ~~Americas, which consists of Canada, Chile, Mexico and the United States; the European,~~Americas; Europe, Middle East and ~~African regions~~Africa (“EMEA”); and ~~the~~ Asia-Pacific ~~region~~ (“APAC”)~~, which includes Australia and New Zealand.~~. We identify our reportable segments based on the information used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to monitor performance and allocate resources. See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our reportable segments.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the U.S. GAAP results provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we provide supplemental non-GAAP measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions. Our management team utilizes a combination of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate business results, to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions. As a result, we believe the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our management team and improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and in their analysis of ongoing operating trends. ~~All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.~~ The use of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the comparable U.S. GAAP measures. In addition, because our non-GAAP measures are not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, it is susceptible to differing calculations, and not all comparable or peer companies may calculate their non-GAAP measures

~~Table of Contents~~

in the same manner. Our non-GAAP measures are adjusted ~~income~~loss from operations, adjusted net ~~(loss) income,~~loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted ~~Income~~Loss from Operations and Adjusted Net ~~(Loss) Income~~Loss

Adjusted ~~income~~loss from operations and adjusted net ~~(loss) income is income (loss)~~loss are loss from operations and net ~~(loss) income~~loss, respectively, adjusted for ~~stock/unit-based~~stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, business transformation costs, operational transformation costs ~~impairment costs,~~and financing ~~and IPO costs, COVID-19 costs and gain on disposal of assets held for sale, and, in the case of adjusted net (loss) income,~~costs. Adjusted loss from ~~early extinguishment~~operations also reflects an adjustment for foreign currency gain (loss). Adjusted net loss reflects each of ~~debt, net of~~the above adjustments, except for foreign currency gain (loss) and the tax impact of ~~such~~all adjustments. Adjusted income from operations is also adjusted for foreign currency (loss) gain. Adjusted income from operations excludes loss from early extinguishment of debt, interest expense, net, income taxes, other expense and gain from investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

We use adjusted ~~income~~loss from operations and adjusted net ~~(loss) income~~loss as indicators of the productivity of our business and our ability to manage expenses, after adjusting for certain expenses that we view as not indicative of regular operations. Adjusted ~~income~~loss from operations and adjusted net ~~(loss) income~~loss are not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is net ~~(loss) income~~loss before interest expense, net, income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and our Board ~~of Directors~~ to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other U.S. GAAP measures. We use Adjusted EBITDA to supplement U.S. GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions and to compare our performance against that of other companies using similar measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is ~~defined as net (loss) income before interest expense, net, other expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization,~~EBITDA adjusted for ~~stock/unit-based~~stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, business transformation costs, operational transformation costs and financing ~~and IPO costs, COVID-19 operational costs, loss from early extinguishment of debt and gain on disposal of assets held for sale.~~costs. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, is not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indicator of a company’s operating performance in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net ~~(loss) income,~~loss, cash flows from operations or cash flow data, all of which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA solely as supplemental disclosure because we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these items.

Total Segment Net Sales. Total segment net sales for the three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 decreased by ~~$2.2~~$23.0 million, or 6%36%, to ~~$33.8~~$40.7 million from ~~$36.0~~$63.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to severe flooding in Australia, which adversely affected both product demand and product availability, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates, specifically the Australian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar, which reduced net sales by $2.1 million. This was partially offset by higher sales in certain Asian markets. Excluding the $2.1 million unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, APAC net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 remained relatively flat as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

~~Segment Adjusted Income from Operations.~~ Segment adjusted income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $3.4 million, or 46%, to $4.0 million from $7.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower sales in Australia and higher inbound freight and product material costs. This was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative costs resulting from the acquisition of RMC in Fiscal Year 2021.

~~Net Sales.~~ ~~Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $72.9 million, or 8%, to $890.4 million from $963.3 million during the six months ended March~~December 31, 2021. The decrease was attributable to lower ~~grill~~ revenues as consumer traffic, both in-store and online, slowed in comparison to the exceptional demand realized during the same period last year. Net sales was also adversely impacted by certain product availability resulting from global supply chain disruptions. These decreases in sales volume were partially offset by certain pricing actions. Fluctuation inIn addition, unfavorable foreign exchange rates, ~~also decreased net sales by $21.9 million, particularly~~specifically the ~~Euro and~~ Australian ~~Dollar~~dollar as compared to the U.S. ~~dollar. Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2022 decreased in the Americas by 16%, in APAC by 2%, and increased in EMEA by 6% as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2021.~~

~~Cost of Goods Sold.~~ Cost of goods sold for the six months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $75.1 million, or 14%, to $617.9 million from $542.8 million during the six months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher inbound freight costs of $66.0 million and higher commodity costs of $84.7 million, which were partially offset by lower sales volumes.

~~Gross Profit and Gross Margin.~~ Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $148.0 million, or 35%, to $272.5 million from $420.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2021. Gross margin decreased by 1,305 basis points to 31% during the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to higher inbound freight costs, higher commodity costs and lower sales volumes.

~~Selling, General and Administrative.~~ Selling, general and administrative costs for the six months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $16.0 million, or 5%, to $314.0 million from $298.0 million during the six months ended March 31, 2021. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of net sales increased by 433 basis points to 35% during the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs was primarily driven by higher stock/unit-based compensation expense of $13.3 million, increased distribution costs of $6.5 million, higher corporate general and administrative costs of $8.8 million, primarily related to costs associated with public company requirements and higher marketing and research and development investments of $5.2 million to support future sales growth. This was partially offset by reduced incentive compensation expense of $18.3 million and lower commission costs on reduced sales of $3.5 million.

~~Amortization of Intangible Assets.~~ Amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $3.5 million, or 51%, to $10.3 million from $6.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in amortization of intangible assets was primarily driven by the amortization of intangible assets related to the June and RMC acquisitions.

~~Foreign Currency Loss (Gain).~~ The impact of foreign exchange resulted in a loss of $4.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 relative to an immaterial gain for the six months ended March 31, 2021 due to the foreign exchange rate impacts on transactions with Weber affiliates conducted in foreign currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

~~Interest Income.~~ ~~Interest income for the six months ended March 31, 2022 was essentially flat as compared to the previous year period.~~

~~Interest Expense.~~ Interest expense increased by $1.0 million, or 3%, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to commencement of the Secured Credit Facility in October 2020.

~~Other Expense.~~ ~~Other expense of $0.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 represents the Company's loss on sale of receivables.~~

~~Income Taxes.~~ Income taxes increased by $21.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2021. Subsequent to its IPO, the Company is structured as a C Corporation, and the current year period reflects income tax expense of $36.8 million as a result of the estimated annual effective tax rate applicable to the net loss recognized for the six months ended March 31, 2022. In the prior year period, the Company, through its subsidiary, Weber-Stephen Products LLC, was structured as a partnership and therefore, was subject to certain LLC entity-level taxes and foreign taxes but generally not subject to U.S. federal income taxes.

~~Gain from Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.~~ No gain or loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates was recorded for the six months ended March 31, 2022 as the Company completed its acquisition of June in January 2021. The six months ended March 31, 2021 reflect a gain from investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $5.5 million, which resulted from a $6.9 million gain from the remeasurement of the existing equity interest in June to fair value at the time of

~~Table of Contents~~

~~acquisition, offset by a $1.4 million loss recorded for Weber’s share of June’s losses in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021.~~

~~Net (Loss) Income.~~ Net (loss) income decreased by $199.7 million to a net loss of $125.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 from net income of $73.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2021. This was primarily due to $148.0 million of lower gross profit, driven by lower net sales of $72.9 million and higher costs of goods sold of $75.1 million, and higher selling, general and administrative costs of $16.0 million. Additionally, income tax expense increased $21.4 million as compared to the prior year period.

The decrease was attributable to lower grill revenues in the U.S. and Canada as consumer traffic, both in-store and online, slowed in comparison to the exceptional demand realized during the same period last year. Additionally, certain product availability was adversely impacted by extended inventory transit times resulting from global supply chain disruptions and the startup of new production lines. These decreases were partially offset by pricing actions. Foreign exchange impacts were relatively flat for the six months ended March 31, 2022.

~~Segment Adjusted Income from Operations.~~ Segment adjusted income from operations for the six months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $65.9 million, or 56%, to $51.2 million from $117.0 million during the six months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was attributed to lower sales volumes in the U.S., higher inbound freight costs and increased product material costs, which was partially offset by pricing actions, lower advertising costs and reduced incentive compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary working capital requirements are to fund our daily operational activities like purchasing raw materials and component parts to manufacture products, and making payments to suppliers for goods and services. Our working capital requirements fluctuate during the year, driven primarily by the seasonality of market demand and the timing of inventory manufacturing and purchases, as well as the timing of cash receipts for products sold to customers. Our business is seasonal in nature with the highest level of sales of products occurring in the second and third fiscal quarters; accordingly, we historically borrowed under our short-term revolving credit facility in the first and second fiscal quarters to fund working capital for building up inventory in anticipation of the higher demand in the second and third fiscal quarters. Our capital expenditures are primarily related to growth initiatives and operational spending, including investments related to new product development, manufacturing and operational activities and investments in technology systems. In addition, in the future we may allocate capital to strategic acquisitions.

Generally, we fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, payments related to acquisitions and debt service requirements with a combination of both cash on hand and the borrowing capacity under the Secured Credit Facility, as discussed below. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into new Unsecured Loan Agreements, as discussed below, which have increased our liquidity position. The Company considers all investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents, which consist primarily of demand deposits with major financial institutions in the ~~United States~~U.S. and in countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$46.4~~$37.7 million, ~~and~~ we had ~~$266.4~~$12.8 million of borrowings available under the ~~revolving credit facility.~~

~~During the second quarter~~Revolving Loan, $230.0 million of Fiscal Year 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain trade accounts receivable to a third-party financial institution (“Receivables Purchase Agreement”). The Receivables Purchase Agreement results in the transfer of the trade accounts receivable and associated risks to the third party and provides the third party with the full benefits and burdens of ownership in exchange for cash proceeds to the Company. The trade accounts receivable transferred are accounted for as sales of receivables as they have satisfied the required criteria under ASC 860, ~~Transfers and Servicing, and are de-recognized from the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The maximum receivables that may be sold~~borrowings available under the ~~Receivables Purchase Agreement at any time is $235.0 million.~~Unsecured Revolving Loan and $120.0 million available under the Unsecured 15% Term Loan.

~~Based on our growth plans,~~We believe we ~~believe our~~have sufficient cash and cash equivalents, ~~position, net cash provided by operating activities and~~including availability under ~~our~~the Secured Credit Facility ~~are currently adequate~~and new Unsecured Loan Agreements, to ~~finance~~fund our ~~working capital requirements, planned~~operations, capital expenditures and debt service. In the future, we may allocate additional capital towards strategic acquisitions. Given the current operating environment, we may opportunistically assess options to strengthen our balance sheet and ensure the most efficient capital structure. These may include additional debt financing, factoring facilities and other potential financing options. There can be no assurance equity or debt financing will be available to us if we need it or, if available, the terms will be satisfactory to us.service through fiscal year 2023.

Secured Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility arrangement with a term loan of $1,250.0 million (“~~Initial~~Term Loan”), an incremental term loan of $250.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $300.0 million (the “Revolving Loan”) (collectively, the “Secured Credit Facility”).

The ~~term loan~~

~~Table of Contents~~

Term Loan matures on October 30, 2027 and the revolving facility matures by October 30, 2025. Borrowings under the credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (i) LIBOR for the relevant interest period, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum for all revolving loans and a 0.75% floor for the term loans), plus an applicable margin or (ii) a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate”, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) adjusted LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00% (subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum), in each case, plus an applicable margin. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, ~~we were in compliance with~~ the ~~covenants of~~interest rate on the ~~credit facility.~~Incremental Term Loan was LIBOR plus 3.25%.

~~On March 2, 2022, the Company exercised its right under the Secured Credit Facility to borrow $250.0 million of incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Loan”).~~ The Incremental Term Loan matures on October 30, 2027. ~~Principal payments on the Incremental Term Loan will commence on June 30, 2022, and will be payable quarterly at scheduled amounts, with the balance due at maturity.~~ At the Company’s option, the Incremental Term Loan interest rate is based on either (a) Term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) for the applicable interest period (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus an applicable margin or (b) base rate equal to the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate”, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) Term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00% (subject to a floor of 0.75% per annum), in each case,

plus an applicable margin. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, the interest rate on the Incremental Term Loan was SOFR plus 4.25%. ~~Interest is~~

On December 27, 2022, the Company amended the Secured Credit Facility loan agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the leverage ratio covenant was waived for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all other covenants in the Secured Credit Facility.

Unsecured Loan Agreements

On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement with BDT Capital Partners Fund I, L.P. and BDT Capital Partners Fund I-A, L.P. The loan agreement provides for an unsecured term loan in an initial aggregate principal amount of $61.2 million (the “Unsecured 12% Term Loan”) and additional unsecured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million. The Unsecured 12% Term Loan and any additional unsecured term loans entered into under the loan agreement mature on January 29, 2028 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 12.0%, payable onin kind or in cash, at the ~~last business day~~election of the ~~month~~Company, on a quarterly basis (and, in the absence of such election, interest will be paid in kind).

On December 11, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Ribeye Parent, LLC, which provides for an unsecured delayed draw term loan of $120.0 million (the “Unsecured 15% Term Loan”) and an unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial aggregate commitment of $230.0 million (the “Unsecured Revolving Loan”) (collectively, the ~~relevant~~“Unsecured 15% Credit Facility”).

Other Information

As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, ~~$35.9~~$33.1 million of our ~~$46.4~~$37.7 million in cash and cash equivalents was held in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. Cash held outside the U.S. may be repatriated, subject to certain limitations, and would be available to be used to fund our domestic operations. However, repatriation of funds may result in additional tax liabilities. We believe that our existing cash balance in the U.S. is sufficient to fund our working capital needs in the U.S.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical results and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, all of which form the basis for making estimates concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 for a summary of these policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no new accounting standards material to Weber Inc. that have been adopted during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes with respect to the Company’s exposure to market risk disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, ~~Report,~~ our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective ~~at a reasonable assurance level as~~because of ~~March 31,~~our previously reported material weakness in the design and operation of information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) related to our IT applications supporting all of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting processes, including our enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”), which we describe in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

Remediation of Material Weakness

The Company is in the process of implementing changes associated with the design, implementation, and monitoring of ITGCs in the areas of user access and change management for IT applications supporting all of the Company’s financial statement preparation and reporting processes to ensure that internal controls are designed and operating effectively. A significant portion of our remediation plan to address the material weakness includes the implementation of our new global ERP system, SAP S4/HANA, which was deployed in the U.S. and significant portions of our European operations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. While the new system is expected to be implemented to all global operations, the Company is evaluating the timing of the implementation, which may fluctuate based on future business conditions. The new ERP system will allow us to address user access and systematic segregation of duties issues by establishing user roles specific to the nature of each job function. We are also establishing controls to ensure the appropriate authorization of new user access provisioning requests and user terminations, including the performance of routine reviews of existing user access, and appropriate controls over change management. For those portions of the business where legacy IT applications remain in place beyond our next assessment period, the Company intends to address the control deficiencies as necessary. We believe that these actions, collectively, will remediate the material weakness. However, the material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

~~There~~Other than the ongoing remediation plans described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information presented in Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, on July 29, 2022, a purported class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois naming as defendants, among others, the Company, our former Chief Executive Officer, our former Chief Financial Officer, our interim Chief Financial Officer, most of our board of directors and the banks that acted as underwriters in our initial public offering. The complaint asserts claims under U.S. federal securities laws, on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of shares of Class A common stock in the Company’s initial public offering in August 2021 (the “IPO”), alleging that the IPO Registration Statement and prospectus made false or misleading statements regarding the purported likelihood of price increases and declining demand and failed to disclose that, as a result of the foregoing, there would be an adverse impact on the Company’s financial results. The action seeks unspecified damages and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

On January 19, 2023, a purported stockholder filed a lawsuit against the Company and its Board of Directors in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint asserts claims against all defendants under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act for allegedly false or misleading statements in the Company’s preliminary information statement filed in connection with the Merger, and against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act for alleged control person liability with respect to such allegedly false and misleading statements. The complaint seeks, among other relief, (1) to enjoin defendants from consummating the Merger; (2) to rescind the Merger or recover damages, if the Merger is completed; (3) to require defendants to disseminate certain additional information as specified in the complaint; and (4) costs, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees. Since the filing of the lawsuit, the Company has also received several demand letters, alleging that the disclosures in the preliminary information statement are incomplete and demanding that the Company issue supplemental disclosures. The Company believes the claims asserted in the lawsuit and the demands are without merit.

The Company has also received several demands from purported stockholders seeking the production of books and records, pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220, for the purported purpose of investigating potential wrongdoing in connection with the Merger. On January 17, 2023, one of the demanding stockholders filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint asserts claims under 8 Del. C. § 220, and consistent with the stockholder’s demand, seeks to compel inspection of certain books and records related to the Merger. The Company is negotiating with the stockholders over the scope of a production in response to the lawsuit and demands.

Additional lawsuits arising out of the Merger may be filed in the future. No assurances can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits or the actions filed to date.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~Material updates to our risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021 are disclosed below.~~

~~Risks Related to Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine~~

In February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine. The United States and other countries and certain international organizations have imposed broad-ranging economic sanctions on Russia and certain Russian individuals, banking entities and corporations as a response, and additional sanctions may be imposed in the future. In March 2022, the Company suspended operations in Russia, including cessations of imports into Russia, sales to retailers in Russia and e-commerce activity in Russia. The ramifications of the hostilities and sanctions may also not be limited to Russia, Ukraine and Russian and Ukrainian companies; ramifications may spill over to and negatively impact surrounding countries in which we have operations. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, resulting sanctions and market disruptions and volatility are impossible to predict, but could be significant and could have a severe adverse effect on regional and global economies, and could include risk of possible further sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, geopolitical shifts, cybersecurity risks, fluctuation in currency exchange rates, supply chain disruptions and adverse impact on financial markets and energy markets.

~~Other than the new risk factor above, there~~There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022.

Pursuant to the terms of the ~~Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Weber~~ HoldCo LLC Agreement, each holder of ~~non-voting common interest units of Weber HoldCo~~ LLC ~~("LLC Units")~~Units has the right to require Weber HoldCo LLC (the “HoldCo LLC Agreement”) to redeem all or a portion of its LLC Units for, at the Company’s election, newly issued shares of Class A ~~Common Stock~~common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A ~~Common Stock~~common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications). Additionally, in the event of a redemption request by a holder of LLC Units, the Company may, at its option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A ~~Common Stock~~common stock for LLC Units in lieu of such a redemption. A corresponding number of shares of Class B ~~Common Stock~~common stock will be canceled on a one-for-one basis if the Company or Weber HoldCo LLC, following a redemption request of a holder of LLC Units, redeems or exchanges LLC Units of such holder of LLC Units.

The HoldCo LLC Agreement was amended on December 11, 2022 by certain affiliates of BDT Capital Partners, LLC. As amended, holders of shares of Class B Common Stock and paired LLC Units had the right to participate in the Merger by delivering a notice of participation on or prior to January 28, 2023. Such right was provided in lieu of any right such holders have to participate in the Merger pursuant to Section 10.05(a) of the HoldCo LLC Agreement or otherwise
