Description of Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business – JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, is a vertically integrated global manufacturer and distributor of windows, doors, and other building products that derives substantially all its revenues from the sale of its door and window products. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “JELD-WEN,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” are to JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Our continuing operations include facilities located in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Our products are marketed primarily under the JELD-WEN brand name in the U.S. and Canada and under JELD-WEN and a variety of acquired brand names in Europe.
Our revenues are affected by the level of new housing starts, residential and non-residential building construction, and repair and remodeling activity in each of our markets. Our sales typically follow seasonal new construction and repair and remodeling industry patterns. The peak season for home construction and remodeling in many of our markets generally corresponds with the second and third calendar quarters, and therefore, sales volume is typically higher during those quarters. Our first and fourth quarter sales volumes are generally lower due to reduced repair and remodeling activity and reduced activity in the building and construction industry as a result of colder and more inclement weather in certain areas of our geographic end markets.
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 28, 2026, and for the three months ended March 28, 2026, and March 29, 2025, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended March 28, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or any other period. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, was derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
All U.S. dollar and other currency amounts, except share and per share amounts, are presented in thousands unless otherwise noted.
Fiscal Year – We operate on a fiscal calendar year, and each interim quarter is comprised of two 4-week periods and one 5-week period, with each week ending on a Saturday. Our fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. As a result, our first and fourth quarters may have more, or fewer days included than a traditional 91-day fiscal quarter.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and allocations that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Significant items that are subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, long-lived assets including goodwill (prior to impairment) and other intangible assets, employee benefit obligations, income tax uncertainties, contingent assets and liabilities, provisions for bad debt, inventory, warranty liabilities, legal claims, valuation of derivatives, environmental remediation, and claims relating to self-insurance. Actual results could differ due to the uncertainty inherent in these estimates.
Warranty Accrual – In Q4 2025, we corrected our warranty accrual calculation resulting in an additional $6.7 million of expense that should have been recognized in our prior interim periods in 2025. We have evaluated the impact on prior interim periods and concluded that the amounts were not material. Refer to Note 9 - Warranty Liability to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of disaggregated information about specific natural expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items that are considered relevant. The FASB also issued ASU 2025-01, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarifies the adoption date of ASU 2024-03 as annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting dates after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of internal-use software costs under ASC 350-40. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or with a modified transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures.
We have considered the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We have assessed the ASUs not listed above and determined that they were either not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
