Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements, references to “Hamilton Beach Holding”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” and similar references are to Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis unless otherwise noted or as the context otherwise requires. Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company is a holding company and operates through its indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HBB”).

We are a leading designer, marketer and distributor of a wide range of brand name small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, and commercial products for restaurants, fast food chains, bars and hotels, and a provider of connected devices and software for home healthcare management.

Our operations are managed and reported in two operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: (1) Home and Commercial Products and (2) Health.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. 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, 2025.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year as our revenue typically increases during the second half of the year and peaks during the fourth quarter due to the fall holiday-selling season. Accordingly, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our past operating results are meaningful only when comparing equivalent time periods, if at all.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported operating profit, net income, or stockholders’ equity.
Accounting Standards Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting Standards Adopted

Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets,” which amends Topic 326 for current accounts receivable and contract assets under Topic 606. Although the ASU introduces a practical expedient allowing entities to assume current conditions remain unchanged over the life of the asset, the Company did not elect this expedient and therefore continues to estimate expected credit losses using its existing allowance for credit losses methodology based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as general trends of the entire customer pool, consistent with the pre-ASU framework. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),” which requires additional information to be disclosed about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which modernizes previously written guidance around internal-use software costs by eliminating accounting consideration of software project development stages and provides for cost capitalization when management has authorized and committed funding to the project and that the project is considered ‘probable’ of completion and the software used to perform the function as intended, along with prescriptive disclosure requirements associated with internal-use software costs to be consistent with Subtopic 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment” regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendment may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively or on a modified prospective basis prescribed by the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements.” The update provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. The amendments do not change the underlying objectives of interim reporting but are designed to enhance clarity in application. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within that annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
Accounts Payable - Supplier Finance Program
Accounts Payable - Supplier Finance Program
The Company has an agreement with a third-party administrator to provide an accounts payable tracking system which facilitates a participating supplier’s ability to monitor and voluntarily elect to sell payment obligations owed by the Company to the designated third-party financial institution. Participating suppliers can sell one or more of the Company’s payment obligations at their sole discretion. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell one or more of its payment obligations. The Company’s rights and obligations with respect to such payment obligations, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these arrangements.
