Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Fox Factory Holding Corp. (the “Company”) designs, engineers, manufactures, and markets premium products and systems that deliver championship-level performance for customers worldwide. Our premium brand, performance-defining products and systems are used primarily on bicycles (“bikes”), side-by-side vehicles (“side-by-sides”), on-road vehicles with and without off-road capabilities, off-road vehicles and trucks, all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”), snowmobiles, motorcycles, and specialty vehicles and applications. In addition, we currently offer premium baseball and softball gear and equipment. Certain of our products are specifically designed and marketed to some of the leading cycling and powered vehicle original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), while others are distributed to consumers through a global network of dealers and distributors and through direct-to-customer channels.
Throughout this Form 10-Q, unless stated otherwise or as the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “FOX,” “Fox Factory,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “ours” refer to Fox Factory Holding Corp. and its operating subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.” or “United States”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
Fiscal Year Calendar - The Company operates on a 52-53-week fiscal year calendar. For 2026 and 2025, the Company’s fiscal year will end or has ended on January 1, 2027 and January 2, 2026, respectively. The 12-month periods ended January 1, 2027 and January 2, 2026, will include or have included 52 weeks. The three and six-month periods ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025 each included 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation - These condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026, that had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues are generated from the sale of performance-defining products and systems to customers worldwide. The Company’s performance-defining products and systems are solutions that improve performance of powered vehicles, bikes, and baseball and softball gear and equipment. Powered vehicles include side-by-sides, on-road vehicles with and without off-road capabilities, purpose-built off-road vehicles and trucks, ATVs, snowmobiles, specialty vehicles and applications, motorcycles, and commercial trucks.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer, generally at the time of shipment. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time. Contracts are generally in the form of purchase orders and are governed by standard terms and conditions. For larger OEMs, the Company may also enter into master agreements. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenues. Tariff surcharges consisting of amounts billed to customers to recover tariff costs are recorded as revenue when the associated products are recognized as revenue. Revenues generated from upfit packages generally do not include the vehicle chassis, as the Company is not the principal in this arrangement and the automotive dealer purchases the chassis directly from the OEM. The Company is required to place a deposit on vehicle chassis manufactured by Stellantis N.V. (“Stellantis”); however, that deposit is refunded when the chassis is sold through to our customer. For other chassis, the Company entered into floor plan financing agreements, in which the
Company pays interest expense based on the duration of time the chassis stay on the Company's premises. Revenues generated from custom upfit packages from the Outside Van and Upfit UTV subsidiaries generally include the vehicle chassis, of which the Company takes on the risks and rewards of ownership.
As a practical expedient, we elected to not capitalize the incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers since the amortization period would have been one year or less.
Provisions for discounts, rebates, sales incentives, returns, and other adjustments are generally provided for in the period the related sales are recorded, based on management’s assessment of historical trends and projection of future results.
Segments - We have three operating and reportable segments: Powered Vehicles Group (“PVG”), Aftermarket Applications Group (“AAG”), and Specialty Sports Group (“SSG”). The Company considers operating segments to be components of the Company in which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer.
Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. On an annual basis, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it will perform a quantitative analysis; otherwise, no further evaluation is necessary.
For the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on a weighting of income and market approaches. The income approach employs a discounted cash flow model, projecting revenue and cash flows over a multi-year period. These projections are based on management’s estimates, historical performance trends, and industry outlooks. These cash flows, along with a terminal value, are discounted to their present value using a weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) that reflects a market rate appropriate for each reporting unit. The market approach employs multiples for public companies that reasonably compare to the reporting units. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company will recognize a loss equal to the excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. All impairments, if any, are charged directly to earnings.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets
Certain trademarks and trade names, including FOX and others from certain subsidiaries, are considered to be indefinite life intangibles, and are not amortized but are subject to testing for impairment annually.
Finite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets
We assess the recoverability of identifiable finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset or asset group’s carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment of certain finite-lived intangible assets, particularly customer relationships, certain trade names, and core technology, is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to which the assets are assigned to the sum of the undiscounted estimated future cash flows the asset group is expected to generate. If the asset or asset group is considered to be impaired, the amount of such impairment would be measured by the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value.
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is impaired or the estimated useful life is no longer appropriate. If indicators of impairment exist and the undiscounted projected cash flows associated with such asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded to write the asset down to its estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from management’s estimates.
Reclassifications - We reclassified certain prior period amounts within our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to conform to our current year presentation. The reclassifications did not have any impact on net income.
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties - As of July 3, 2026, the Company is subject to those risks common in manufacturing-driven markets, including, but not limited to, competitive forces, dependence on key personnel, customer demand for its products, disruptions in the operations of its or its customers’ facilities, or along its global supply chain, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, compliance with government regulations, and the possibility of not being able to obtain additional financing when needed.
The impact of geopolitical conflicts, including, among others, continuing tensions between Taiwan and China, and the war in Iran continue to create uncertainty in global economic conditions and volatility in energy, raw materials, and supply chains, which may negatively impact the Company’s business and operations. Additionally, the imposition of U.S. tariffs on more than 60 countries, including China, Canada, Mexico, and Taiwan, as well as potential changes to or expansions of such tariffs and related retaliatory trade measures, disrupt supply chains and impact demand for the Company’s products. Furthermore, domestic and foreign political instability and uncertainty may create economic volatility, regulatory changes, and trade disruptions that pose additional risks to the Company’s business environment.
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments - The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, that requires the valuation of assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value based on hierarchy of available inputs as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and current portion of long-term debt approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of the Company’s revolver and long-term debt, excluding current portion, approximate their fair values because the interest rates vary with the market.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024 and January 2025, respectively, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which adds new disclosure requirements, including more detailed information about certain income statement expense captions and a separate disclosure for selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting standard updates on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instrument - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” The ASU provides a practical expedient for estimating current expected credit losses by allowing entities to assume that conditions existing as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company elected the practical expedient starting the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and applied the guidance prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related 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.” The amendments in ASU 2025-06 clarify and modernize the capitalization of costs related to internal-use software. The ASU removes all references to project stages throughout Subtopic 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting standard updates on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements.” The amendments introduce targeted improvements across several areas, including similar‑risk assessments for groups of forecasted transactions, hedging interest payments on choose‑your‑rate debt instruments, and cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions. The guidance is intended to better align hedge accounting with entities’ risk‑management activities and reduce unintuitive hedge dedesignation events. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU and does not expect it to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities.” The ASU establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities, leveraging principles from IAS 20 and introducing targeted improvements to U.S. GAAP. The ASU also modifies certain existing disclosure requirements in ASC 832 to enhance transparency of government assistance. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028 for public business entities, and one year later for all other entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements.” The amendments clarify that Topic 270 applies to all entities providing interim financial statements under GAAP, consolidate required interim disclosures, introduce a disclosure principle for material post–year‑end events, and refine guidance on the form and content of interim financial statements. The amendments do not change the nature or scope of existing interim reporting requirements. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these updates on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑12, “Codification Improvements.” The ASU introduces various technical corrections, clarifications, and minor improvements across a wide range of ASC Topics, which are not expected to significantly affect current accounting practice or impose significant costs on most entities. General transition guidance is provided in ASC 105‑10‑65‑10, with separate transition provisions for the earnings‑per‑share amendments in ASC 260. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these updates and does not expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
