Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Basis of Presentation Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (“HBB”) (collectively “Hamilton Beach Holding” or the “Company”). HBB is a leading designer, marketer, and distributor of branded, small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars, and hotels. HBB operates in the consumer, commercial, and specialty appliance markets. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year due to the highly seasonal nature of the Company's primary markets. A majority of revenue and operating profit typically occurs in the second half of the calendar year when sales of products to retailers and consumers historically increase significantly for the fall holiday-selling season. Accounting Standards Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The new accounting rules provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company adopted certain optional expedients provided under Topic 848 that permit its hedging relationships to continue without de-designation upon changes due to reference rate reform. The adoption of this guidance resulted in no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The optional expedients and accounting relief in Topic 848 remain effective through December 31, 2022. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted The Company is an emerging growth company and has elected not to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or nonpublic entities, the Company can adopt the new or revised standard at the time nonpublic entities adopt the new or revised standard. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2022, the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our spin-off from NACCO Industries, Inc. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)," which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are currently effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is planning to adopt ASU 2016-02 when required using the modified retrospective transition method applied on the effective date. The Company’s preliminary assessment has focused on the policy elections and practical expedients permitted by the standard. The Company currently anticipates electing to apply the package of practical expedients to all leases that commenced prior to the date of adoption. Based on the analysis performed to date, the Company anticipates making a policy election to not include short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and to not separate lease and non-lease components as permitted by the accounting guidance. The assessment is ongoing and the preliminary conclusions are subject to change. We continue to evaluate to what extent ASU 2016-02 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. The Company expects to record additional material assets and corresponding liabilities related to operating leases in the statement of financial position. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)," which requires an entity to recognize credit losses as an allowance rather than as a write-down. For nonpublic entities and smaller reporting companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is planning to adopt ASU 2016-13 for its year beginning January 1, 2023 and subsequent interim periods and is currently evaluating to what extent ASU 2016-13 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The new accounting rules reduce complexity by removing specific exceptions to general principles related to intraperiod tax allocations, ownership changes in foreign investments, and interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The new accounting rules also simplify accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The Company will adopt ASU 2019-12 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Assets Held for Sale During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company committed to a plan to sell its Brazilian subsidiary and determined that it met all of the criteria to classify the assets and liabilities of this business as held for sale. In April 2021, the Company made the decision to wind down the Brazilian subsidiary and enter into a licensing agreement with a third party to service the Brazilian market. The carrying amounts of the assets were reclassified to held and used during the second quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, the criteria for substantially complete liquidation were met, and $2.1 million of accumulated other comprehensive losses were released into other expense (income), net in the consolidated results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Insurance Recovery In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized $10.0 million of insurance recovery associated with unauthorized transactions by former employees at our Mexican subsidiaries, which were identified in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company maintains fidelity insurance and filed a claim to recover losses incurred up to the policy maximum of $10.0 million. The insurance recovery was received during the second quarter of 2022, and the benefit was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Operations during the first quarter of 2022. U.S. Pension Plan Termination During the second quarter of 2022, the Board of Directors of HBB approved the termination of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan") with an effective date of September 30, 2022. The Plan was previously frozen, effective December 31, 1996, for participation and benefit accrual purposes (except cash balance interest credits required by law). The Company has started the process to terminate and settle the Plan, which could take up to an estimated 24 months to complete. Benefit obligations under the Plan will be settled through a combination of lump sum payments to eligible plan participants and the purchase of a group annuity contract, under which future benefit obligations will be transferred to a third-party insurance company. As of September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and September 30, 2021, the plan was overfunded under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measures by $12.0 million, $16.0 million and $13.4 million, respectively. In light of the termination process, the Plan transferred a significant portion of its assets to lower risk investments in 2022. The Company expects that there will be no further required minimum contributions to the Plan. We currently expect that all surplus assets remaining after the Plan termination will be transferred to a qualified replacement plan. Pension Settlement In the third quarter of 2022, the Company remeasured the Plan which was triggered by the level of lump sum distributions from the Plans' assets exceeding the Plan's service and interest cost threshold. The Company recognized a pre-tax pension settlement loss in Other expense (income), net of $0.3 million ($0.2 million after-tax or $0.01 per diluted share). The remeasurement resulted in a decrease in the pension benefit obligation of $2.6 million and a decrease in the fair value of the pension plan assets of $6.6 million. The impact of the remeasurement on net periodic pension benefit cost will be recognized prospectively from the remeasurement date. Amended Credit Agreement On August 15, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 12 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, the Lenders that are Parties thereto as the Lenders, Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc., as Parent and U.S. Borrower, and Hamilton Beach Brands Canada, Inc., as Canadian Borrower (the “Amendment”). For a period of ninety days, the Amendment increases the credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Amendment from $150 million to $165 million and increases the eligible inventory included in the borrowing base. Additionally, the Amendment amends the pricing grid. The Amendment provides the Company flexibility on a short-term basis as it manages working capital into the holiday selling season. The pricing grid was amended to, among other matters, include an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable margin, as allowed under Amendment No. 10 due to the transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate. |
