NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 4, 2026
(
Unaudited

(1)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by The Middleby Corporation (the "company" or “Middleby”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the company's 2025 Form 10-K. The company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of future full year results for the fiscal year 2026.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the results of operations for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, cash flows for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025 and statement of stockholders' equity for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025.
Discontinued Operations
On February 2, 2026, the company completed a transaction selling a 51% stake in its Residential Kitchen Equipment Group to an affiliate of 26North Partners LP (the “Residential Transaction”). Following the close of the Residential Transaction, the company owns a
49
% non-controlling equity interest in Composition Brands, a new standalone entity holding the Residential Kitchen Equipment business ("Composition Brands"). The company received cash proceeds of $
564.6
million, net of cash disposed and subject to future closing adjustments, and a promissory note payable by Composition Brands in the principal amount of $
135.0
million, with an initial fair value of $
82.4
million. The company's retained interest in Composition Brands had an initial fair value of $

The sale of the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the company's operations and financial results. Due to this shift, the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group’s financial results are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as discontinued operations through the date of deconsolidation. The assets and liabilities of the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group have been reclassified and reported as assets and liabilities held for sale - discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets through the date of deconsolidation. These changes have been applied to all periods presented. Additionally, all of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been retrospectively restated to only include the company's continuing operations, unless noted otherwise.
The Residential Kitchen Equipment Group, historically presented as a reportable segment, is no longer included in segment results. Certain prior year amounts within the company's segment reporting that were previously associated with the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group were excluded from the scope of the Residential Transaction and are now included within Corporate and Other. All prior period segment disclosures have been recast to reflect these changes. See Note 7 to these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the company’s business segment results.
See Notes 4 and 9 to these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the retained equity method investment and discontinued operations, respectively.
Proposed Separation Transaction
On February 25, 2025, the company announced its intent to separate its Food Processing business through a spin-off of the Food Processing business, under which the stock of Midera Food Processing, Inc. (the subsidiary of the company which will own and operate the company's Food Processing business), as a new independent publicly traded company, will be distributed to Middleby’s shareholders. As of the date hereof, Middleby is targeting July 6, 2026 for the completion of the separation, subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others, final approval by the company’s Board of Directors and the effectiveness of appropriate filings with the SEC. The spin-off of Midera Food Processing, Inc. is expected to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that any separation transaction will ultimately occur or, if one does occur, of its terms or timing.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, allowances for credit losses, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, long-lived and intangible assets, equity method investments, note receivables, warranty reserves, insurance reserves, income tax reserves, non-cash share-based compensation and post-retirement obligations. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed in the notes herein.

The annual impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets is performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The company does not believe there have been any interim indicators of impairment requiring analysis other than at the annual assessment date. This is supported by the review of order rates, backlog levels and financial performance across business segments.

Litigation Matters
From time to time, the company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to products, suppliers, employees, customers and competitors. The company maintains insurance to partially cover product liability, workers compensation, property and casualty, and general liability matters. The company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of accrual required, if any, for these contingencies is made after assessment of each matter and the related insurance coverage. The required accrual may change in the future due to new developments or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters. The company does not believe that any such matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Measures
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based the company's own assumptions.

The contingent consideration as of April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026 relates to earnout provisions recorded in conjunction with various purchase agreements.
Earnout provisions are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as the methodology used to estimate fair value includes significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions. The earnout provisions associated with these acquisitions are based upon performance measurements related to sales and EBITDA, as defined in the respective purchase agreements. On a quarterly basis, the company assesses the projected results for each of the acquisitions in comparison to the earnout targets and adjusts the liability accordingly. Discount rates for valuing contingent consideration are determined based on the company rates and specific acquisition risk considerations. Changes in fair value associated with the earnout provisions are recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The earnout liabilities are included in Accrued expenses and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Warranty Costs
In the normal course of business, the company issues product warranties for specific product lines and provides for the estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recorded. The estimate of warranty cost is based on contract terms and historical warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, claim costs may differ from amounts provided. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties are made as changes in the obligations become reasonably estimable.

26.2
million at an effective rate of
23.5
% in the prior year period. During the three month period ended April 4, 2026, the effective tax rate was higher than prior period due to an increase in non-deductible costs. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended April 4, 2026 was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of
21.0
% primarily due to non-deductible expenses, state taxes and foreign rate differentials.

Non-Cash Share-Based Compensation
The company estimates the fair value of market-based stock awards and stock options at the time of grant and recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period of the awards and options. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $
10.1
million and $
2.3
million for the three month period ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding, and diluted earnings per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and other dilutive securities.
The company’s potentially dilutive securities consist of shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock grants, computed using the treasury method, and amounted to
11,000
for the three months ended April 4, 2026. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three months ended March 29, 2025.
For the three months ended March 29, 2025, the average market price of the company's common stock exceeded the exercise price of the Convertible Notes (as defined below) resulting in
1,027,000
diluted common stock equivalents to be included in the diluted net earnings per share.

Common, Preferred and Treasury Stock
Shares Authorized
At April 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the company had
95,000,000
authorized shares of common stock and
2,000,000
authorized shares of non-voting preferred stock.
Treasury Stock
In November 2017, the company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the company to repurchase in the aggregate up to
2,500,000
shares of its outstanding common stock. In May 2022, July 2024 and May 2025, the company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional
2,500,000
,
2,500,000
and
7,500,000
shares of its outstanding common stock under the current program, respectively.
During three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the company repurchased
2,385,405
and
192,048
shares of its common stock under the program for $
365.9
million and $
29.2
million, respectively. As of April 4, 2026,
10,530,345
shares had been purchased under the stock repurchase program and
4,469,655
shares remained authorized for repurchase.
The company also treats shares withheld for tax purposes on behalf of employees in connection with the vesting of restricted share grants as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. During the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the company repurchased
56,233
and
81,548
shares of its common stock that were surrendered to the company for withholding taxes related to restricted stock vestings for $
8.9
million and $
13.6
million, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items in the footnotes to the financial statements for both annual and interim periods. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

ACQUISITIONS AND PURCHASE ACCOUNTING
The company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method to record a new cost basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill in the financial statements. The company recognizes identifiable intangible assets, primarily trade names and customer relationships, at their fair value using a discounted cash flow model. The significant assumptions used to estimate the value of the intangible assets include revenue growth rates, projected profit margins, discount rates, royalty rates, and customer attrition rates. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. The results of operations are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the company from the dates of acquisition.
2025 Acquisitions
During 2025, the company completed various acquisitions that were not individually material.
The following estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date for the
2025 acquisitions and are summarized as follows (in thousands):

The net long-term deferred tax liability is comprised of $
1.3
million related to the difference between the book and tax basis of identifiable intangible assets and $
1.0
million related to the difference between the book and tax basis of identifiable tangible asset and liability accounts.
The goodwill and
$
4.6
million
of other intangibles associated with the trade names are subject to the non-amortization provisions of ASC 350. Other intangibles also include
$
2.6
million
allocated to customer relationships,
$

allocated to developed technology, and
$
2.0
million
allocated to backlog, which are being amortized over periods of

, respectively. Goodwill of
$
13.3
million
and other intangibles of
$

million
are allocated to the Food Processing Equipment Group for segment reporting purposes. Of these assets, goodwill of
$
7.6
million
and intangibles of
$
5.5
million
are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Two purchase agreements include earnout provisions providing for a contingent payment due to the sellers for the achievement of certain targets. Two earnouts are payable to the extent certain EBITDA targets are met with measurement dates ending in
11
Table of Contents
2028. The contractual obligation associated with the contingent earnout provisions recognized on the acquisition date amounts to
$
4.7
million
.
The company believes that information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values for the acquisitions completed during 2025. Certain intangible assets are preliminarily valued using historical information from the Food Processing Equipment Group and qualitative assessment of the businesses at acquisition date. Specifically, the company estimated the fair values of the intangible assets based on the percentage of purchase price assigned to similar intangible assets in previous acquisitions within the Food Processing Group. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair values set forth above are subject to change. The company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
2026 Acquisitions
There were no acquisitions completed during the three month period ended April 4, 2026.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Disaggregation of Revenue
The company disaggregates its net sales by reportable operating segment and geographical location as the company believes it best depicts how the nature, timing and uncertainty of its net sales and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
In general, the Commercial Foodservice Equipment Group recognizes revenue at the point in time control transfers to their customers based on contractual shipping terms. Revenue from equipment sold under our long-term contracts within the Food Processing Equipment group is recognized over time as the equipment is manufactured and assembled.

Contract Balances
Contract assets primarily relate to the company's right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date and are recorded in prepaid expenses and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Accounts receivable are not considered contract assets under the revenue standard as contract assets are conditioned upon the company's future satisfaction of a performance obligation. Accounts receivable, in contracts, are unconditional rights to consideration.
Contract liabilities relate to advance consideration received from customers for which revenue has not been recognized. Current contract liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Non-current contract liabilities are recorded in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities are reduced when the associated revenue from the contract is recognized.

EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT AND NOTE RECEIVABLE
As a result of the completion of the Residential Transaction on February 2, 2026, the company deconsolidated the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group and recognized a loss on disposal within discontinued operations. See Note 9 to these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the company's discontinued operations. Following the closing, the company retained a
49
% non-controlling equity interest in Composition Brands, which now holds the Residential Kitchen Equipment business. The company accounts for its investment in Composition Brands under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323
Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures
.
The initial fair value of the company’s equity method investment of $
150.8
million, as of February 2, 2026, was determined using an option pricing model under the income approach. Key inputs included the discount rate, expected volatility and time to
13
Table of Contents
liquidity. This one-time, non-recurring valuation is classified as Level 3 due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In addition to the initial fair value, the company capitalized $
4.4
million of eligible costs into the initial carrying value of the investment.
The company has elected to report its share of Composition Brands' results of operations on a one-quarter lag, consistent with the timing of financial information available from Composition Brands. Due to the reporting lag, the company has not recorded any share of Composition Brands' results during the quarter ended April 4, 2026.
Due to the presence of certain liquidation preferences and other investor rights in the limited partnership agreement, the company will utilize the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (“HLBV”) method to determine its share of Composition Brands' earnings or losses. Under the HLBV method, the company will calculate its share of Composition Brands' earnings or losses for each reporting period based on the change in the amount the company would receive if Composition Brands were liquidated at book value at the beginning and end of the period, taking into account the capital structure of Composition Brands, including any liquidation and distribution preferences.
The HLBV method is considered the most appropriate means of reflecting the economic substance of the company’s investment in Composition Brands, given the existence of contractual terms that affect the allocation of profits and losses among investors.
In connection with the Residential Transaction, the company entered into various commercial arrangements, pursuant to which the company will provide certain engineering, manufacturing, distribution, and sales channel support to Composition Brands on a transitional basis for initial periods of up to three years from the closing date of the Residential Transaction, with certain commercial arrangements automatically renewing for one-year terms until terminated. The company will also provide certain post-closing information technology, finance, tax, human resources, treasury, legal and supply chain services on a transitional basis for periods, generally up to 12 months from the closing date of the Residential Transaction (although certain services may be provided for up to 18 months from the closing date of the transaction if Composition Brands exercises its extension option), under the terms of a transition services agreement. Income and expenses related to these agreements are recognized in accordance with the underlying contractual terms and were not considered material to the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended April 4, 2026.
No distributions or dividends were received from Composition Brands during the quarter ended April 4, 2026.
The company evaluates its equity method investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. As of April 4, 2026, no indicators of impairment were identified.
Note Receivable
In connection with the Residential Transaction, the company received an unsecured promissory note from Composition Brands in the principal amount of $
135.0
million. The note matures on August 2, 2033 and is comprised of two tranches:
•
$
125.0
million is non-interest bearing, and
•
$
10.0
million bears interest at a rate of
12
% per annum.
The note contains provisions that require partial or full repayment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including the sale of specified assets, achievement of certain EBITDA targets, change of control of Composition Brands, or the occurrence of other events and conditions as defined in the transaction agreements. The company monitors these contingencies on an ongoing basis.
The company has elected to account for the note receivable at fair value under the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825
Financial Instruments
.
The note is presented as Note receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in Other (income)/expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
As of April 4, 2026, the fair value of the note receivable was $
84.2
million. For the three month period ended April 4, 2026, the change in fair value recognized in earnings was a gain of $
1.8
million.
The company estimates the fair value of the note receivable using the income approach. The note receivable is classified as a Level 3 instrument in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, including the timing and amount of f
uture cash flows due to the contingent repayment provisions discussed above and the discount rate.

Credit Facility
As of April 4, 2026, the company had $
1.8
billion of borrowings outstanding under its credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), including $
801.0
million outstanding under the term loan ($
799.1
million, net of unamortized issuance fees) and $
633.1
million outstanding under the delayed draw term loan. The company also had $
4.2
million in outstanding letters of credit as of April 4, 2026, which reduces the borrowing availability under the Credit Facility. Remaining borrowing capacity under this facility was $
2.0
billion at April 4, 2026.
At April 4, 2026, borrowings under the Credit Facility accrued interest at a rate of
1.375
% above the daily simple or term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) per annum or
0.375
% above the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus
0.50
% and one month Term SOFR plus
1.00
%. The interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility may be adjusted quarterly based on the company’s Funded Debt less Unrestricted Cash to Pro Forma EBITDA (the “Leverage Ratio”) on a rolling four-quarter basis. Additionally, a commitment fee based upon the Leverage Ratio is charged on the unused portion of the commitments under the Credit Facility. As of April 4, 2026, borrowings under the Credit Facility accrued interest at a minimum of
1.375
% above SOFR (with an additional spread adjustment of
0.10
%) and the variable unused commitment fee will be at a minimum of
0.20
%. The average interest rate per annum, inclusive of hedging instruments, on the debt under the Credit Facility was equal to
4.73
% at the end of the period and the variable commitment fee was equal to
0.20
% per annum as of April 4, 2026.
The term loan and delayed draw term loan facilities had an average interest rate per annum, inclusive of hedging instruments, of
4.62
% as of April 4, 2026.
On October 23, 2025, a foreign subsidiary of the Food Processing Equipment Group entered into a term loan with an initial principal amount of €
20.0
million, which matures on September 30, 2035 and will be repaid in equal quarterly installments beginning in the first quarter of 2026. In addition, the company has other international credit facilities to fund working capital needs outside the United States. At April 4, 2026, these foreign credit facilities amounted to $
30.8
million with a weighted average per annum interest rate of approximately
2.73
%.
The company’s debt is reflected on the balance sheet at cost. The fair values of the Credit Facility, term debt and foreign and other debt is based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using the company's incremental borrowing rate. The company believes its interest rate margins, based on the company’s Leverage Ratio, on its existing debt are consistent with current market conditions and therefore the carrying value of debt reflects the fair value. The carrying value and estimated aggregate fair value, a level 2 measurement, based primarily on market prices, of debt is as follows (in thousands):

Interest rate swaps are subject to default risk to the extent the counterparty is unable to satisfy its settlement obligations under the interest rate swap agreements. The company reviews the credit profile of the financial institutions that are counterparties to such swap agreements and assesses their creditworthiness prior to entering into the interest rate swap agreements and throughout the term. The interest rate swap agreements typically contain provisions that allow the counterparty to require early settlement in the event that the company becomes insolvent or is unable to maintain compliance with its covenants under its existing debt agreement.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise which has discrete financial information that is evaluated regularly. The company determined that its Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM") who possesses the ultimate authority with respect to assessment of performance, allocation of resources, and all strategic actions of the company. In performing this responsibility, the CODM regularly reviews key internal management reports, financial information including forecasts, and quarterly results, which are prepared at the operating segment level.
16
Table of Contents
In accordance with ASC 280-10,
Segment Reporting
, the company operates in
two
reportable operating segments defined by management reporting structure and operating activities. The company’s reportable segments are:
(i)
Commercial Foodservice Equipment Group:
Manufactures, sells, and distributes foodservice equipment for the restaurant and institutional kitchen industry
(ii)
Food Processing Equipment Group:
Manufactures preparation, cooking, packaging food handling and food safety equipment for the food processing industry
Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the CODM for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as operating income less depreciation, intangible amortization, restructuring, acquisition related adjustments, impairments, stock compensation and other non-recurring items which management considers to be outside core operating results. The CODM reviews this metric regularly to compare the profitability of segments, identify trends, and evaluate which segments require additional resources or strategic adjustments. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to support the allocation of resources predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The company believes that investors find this measure useful in comparing our operating performance to that of other companies in our industry because this measure generally illustrates the underlying performance of the business.
Management believes that inter-segment sales are made at established arm's length transfer prices. All inter-segment transactions are eliminated and values are presented net of eliminations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
As discussed in Note 1 to these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group’s financial results are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as discontinued operations through the date of deconsolidation. The assets and liabilities of the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group were reclassified and reported as assets and liabilities held for sale - discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets through the date of deconsolidation.
Upon classification as held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2025, the company ceased depreciating and amortizing long-lived assets within the disposal group, which primarily included property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets.
The Residential Transaction was completed on February 2, 2026. Following the close of the Residential Transaction, the company owns a
49
% non-controlling equity interest in Composition Brands, which now holds the Residential Kitchen Equipment business. The company received cash proceeds of $
564.6
million, net of cash disposed and subject to future closing adjustments, and a promissory note payable by Composition Brands in the principal amount of $
135.0
million, with an initial fair value of $
82.4
million. The company's retained interest in Composition Brands had an initial fair value of $
150.8
million. The company recognized a pre-tax loss of $
94.9
million upon deconsolidation, including $
50.8
million related to the remeasurement of the retained interest to fair value. See Note 4 to these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the retained equity method investment and promissory note receivable.
Certain assets and liabilities included in the determination of consideration received for the Residential Transaction have not yet legally transferred to Composition Brands as of April 4, 2026. These assets and liabilities, which are associated with distribution operations in certain international locations, have not been deconsolidated and will remain classified as assets and liabilities held for sale – discontinued operations until legal transfer is completed, which is expected within one year of the closing date. Consideration allocated to this portion of the business of $
6.5
million is included in Accrued expenses in Liabilities held for sale - discontinued operations as of April 4, 2026. The company recognized a loss of $
0.6
million to adjust the carrying value of the remaining net assets for this portion of the business to the value of deferred consideration, representing fair value, as of April 4, 2026.
Certain assets and liabilities that were previously associated with the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group were excluded from the scope of the Residential Transaction, including a defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom (the Aga Rangemaster Group Pension Scheme or the “Retained Plan”) and earnout obligations associated with several prior acquisitions.
The Retained Plan, which covers certain current and former employees of, and was previously sponsored by, a division within the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group, was not transferred to Composition Brands. The Retained Plan is not included in assets held for sale - discontinued operations. The ongoing net periodic pension benefit, actuarial gains and losses, and other comprehensive (loss)/income related to the Retained Plan are reflected in the company’s results of continuing operations. The Retained Plan is included within Corporate and Other in the company's business segment results. See Note 7 to these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the company’s business segment results. Certain other immaterial defined benefit pension plans were included within the scope of the Residential Transaction and have been included within the results of discontinued operations.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The company cautions readers that these projections are based upon future results or events and are highly dependent upon a variety of important factors which could cause such results or events to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this report, or which are otherwise made by or on behalf of the company. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the proposed spin-off of Midera Food Processing, Inc. will not be consummated within the anticipated time period or at all and that the company may not realize all or any of the expected benefits of the spin-off; volatility in earnings resulting from goodwill and trade name impairment losses, which may occur irregularly and in varying amounts; variability in financing costs and interest rates; quarterly variations in operating results; dependence on key customers; international exposure; risks associated with the company’s foreign operations, including foreign exchange, tariffs and political risks affecting international sales; unfavorable tax law changes and tax authority rulings; ability to protect trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property; cybersecurity attacks and other breaches in security; changing market conditions, including inflation; the impact of competitive products and pricing; the impact of announced management and organizational changes; the state of the credit markets and consumer credit; intense competition in the company's business segments including the impact of both new and established global competitors; the timely development and market acceptance of the company’s products; the availability and cost of raw materials; the company's continued ability to realize profitable growth through the sourcing and completion of strategic acquisitions; and other risks detailed herein and from time-to-time in the company’s SEC filings, including the company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof and, except as required by federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC, the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Discontinued Operations
On February 2, 2026, the company completed a transaction selling a 51% stake in its Residential Kitchen Equipment Group to an affiliate of 26North Partners LP (the “Residential Transaction”). The company received net cash proceeds of $564.6 million and a promissory note in the principal amount of $135.0 million, and recorded a pre-tax loss on disposition of $94.9 million during the first quarter of 2026, subject to future closing adjustments. Following the close of the Residential Transaction, the company owns a 49% non-controlling equity interest in Composition Brands, a new standalone entity holding the Residential Kitchen Equipment business.
The results of the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group are presented as discontinued operations in the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Residential Kitchen Equipment Group was historically presented as a reportable segment. See Notes 1 and 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
The company has elected to report its share of Composition Brands' results of operations on a one-quarter lag, consistent with the timing of financial information available from Composition Brands. As a result, the company has not yet recorded any share of Composition Brands' results associated with the period from the transaction close date to the end of the first quarter of 2026. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Proposed Separation Transaction
On February 25, 2025, the company announced its intent to separate its Food Processing business through a spin-off of the Food Processing business, under which the stock of Midera Food Processing, Inc. (the subsidiary of the company which will own and operate the company's Food Processing business), as a new independent publicly traded company, will be distributed to Middleby’s shareholders. As of the date hereof, Middleby is targeting July 6, 2026 for the completion of the separation, subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others, final approval by the company’s Board of Directors and the effectiveness of appropriate filings with the SEC. The spin-off of Midera Food Processing, Inc. is expected to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that any separation transaction will ultimately occur or, if one does occur, of its terms or timing.
Current Events
The current domestic and international political environment has contributed to uncertainty surrounding the future state of the global economy. Recent significant trade policy and tariff actions by the U.S. government and many other countries have created significant uncertainty and potential risks for the company. The tariffs imposed to date have increased the cost of certain raw materials and components, and while the company is actively exploring opportunities to mitigate these increased costs, there can be no assurance of the company’s ability to offset the impact of these tariffs fully. Furthermore, the imposition of retaliatory tariffs from other countries on the company's exported products could negatively affect demand and future sales volumes. The long-term effects of current and future tariffs and any future trade policy changes on the global economy and the
21
Table of Contents
industries in which the company operates remain uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements in any particular reporting period. Even in light of such headwinds, we remain focused on delivering strong financial results and executing on our long-term strategy and profitability objectives, as well as continuing to identify operational efficiencies in all aspects of our business.
In addition to tariffs, the company has been negatively impacted by inflation in wages, logistics, energy, raw materials and component costs. Price increases and pricing strategies have been implemented to mitigate the impact of cost inflation on margins and the company continues to actively monitor costs. Consumer demand in the near term has and may continue to be impacted by higher inflation levels and uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate policy decisions.
The company continues to actively monitor global supply chain, labor and logistics constraints, which have had a negative impact on the company's ability to source parts and complete and ship units. While the company is seeing improvement on certain supply chain and logistics constraints, supply chains for certain key components remain distressed and uncertain given trade policy and tariff actions. The decreased availability of resources and inflationary costs have resulted in heightened inventory levels. To combat these pressures, the company has evaluated alternative sourcing, dual sourcing and collaborated across the organization, where appropriate, without materially presenting new risks or increasing current risks around quality and reliability. Our capital resources have been and the company expects they will continue to be sufficient to address these challenges.

Restructuring Expenses
Restructuring expenses increased $0.3 million to $1.5 million for the three month period ended April 4, 2026, as compared to $1.2 million for the three month period ended March 29, 2025. Restructuring expenses in the three month period ended April 4, 2026 related primarily to headcount reductions and facility consolidations within the Commercial Foodservice Group.

Non-operating Income and Expenses
Interest and deferred financing amortization costs were $25.5 million in the three month period ended April 4, 2026, as compared to $18.8 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting the increase in interest rates. Net periodic pension benefit increased $0.9 million to $2.4 million in the three month period ended April 4, 2026, as compared to $1.5 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the discount rate used to calculate interest cost in the current year. Other income was $2.6 million in the three month period ended April 4, 2026, as compared to other expense of $1.0 million in the prior year period. The change was primarily driven by income of $1.8 million in the current year related to the change in fair value of the note receivable and $1.5 million of lower net foreign exchange losses.
Income Taxes
A tax provision of $27.6 million, at an effective rate of 24.5%, was recorded during the three month period ended April 4, 2026, as compared to a tax provision of $26.2 million at an effective rate of 23.5%, in the prior year period. During the three month period ended April 4, 2026, the effective tax rate was higher than the prior year period due to an increase in non-deductible expenses.
The effective tax rate for the
three month period ended April 4, 2026 was
higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses, state taxes and foreign tax rate differentials.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 1(n) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on new accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, the company evaluates its estimates and judgments based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences could be material to the company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no changes in the company's critical accounting policies, which include revenue recognition, inventories, goodwill and indefinite-life intangibles, convertible debt, pensions benefits, and income taxes, as discussed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), except for the adoption of new critical accounting policies pertaining to equity method investments and note receivables, which were implemented in connection with the Residential Transaction completed during the current year, as discussed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
The company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. The following table summarizes the maturity of the company’s variable rate debt obligations (in thousands):
2026
$
44,154
2027
43,996

1,765,946
2029

2030 and thereafter
15,962
$
1,874,020
The company is exposed to interest rate risk on its floating-rate debt. The company has entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of its variable-rate debt. The company has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of April 4, 2026, the fair value of these instruments was an asset of $10.3 million. The change in fair value of these swap agreements in the first three months of 2026 was a loss of $0.7 million, net of taxes. The potential net loss on fair value for such instruments from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted interest rates would not have a material impact on the company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Foreign Exchange Derivative Financial Instruments
The company uses derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts with terms of less than one year, to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company’s primary hedging activities are to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange rates on intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. The company does not currently enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. In managing its foreign currency exposures, the company identifies and aggregates naturally occurring offsetting positions and then hedges residual balance sheet exposures. The potential net loss on fair value for such instruments from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on the company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The fair value of the forward contracts was a loss of $0.2 million at the end of the first quarter of 2026.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. Changes in the market value and the related foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the company's Exchange Act reports 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 the company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of April 4, 2026, the company's management, with the participation of the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of this period.
During the quarter ended April 4, 2026, there has been no change in the company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial reporting.

On November 7, 2017, the company's Board of Directors resolved to terminate the company's existing share repurchase program, effective as of such date, which was originally adopted in 1998, and approved a new stock repurchase program. This program authorizes the company to repurchase in the aggregate up to 2,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. In May 2022, July 2024 and May 2025, the company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional 2,500,000, 2,500,000 and 7,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock under the current program, respectively. As of April 4, 2026, the total number of shares authorized for repurchase under the program is 15,000,000 shares. As of April 4, 2026, 10,530,345 shares had been purchased under the stock repurchase program and 4,469,655 shares remained authorized for repurchase.
The company also treats shares withheld for tax purposes on behalf of employees in connection with the vesting of restricted share grants as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. These withheld shares are not considered common stock repurchases under the authorized common stock repurchase plan and accordingly are not included in the common stock repurchase totals in the preceding table.
