HAMILTON BEACH BRANDS HOLDING COMPANY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2022

(Tabular amounts in thousands, except as noted and per share amounts)

NOTE 1—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 a wide range of branded, small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, fast food chains, bars, and hotels. HBB operates in the consumer and commercial 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 three months ended March 31, 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 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 and is currently evaluating to what extent ASU 2016-02 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. We are also evaluating our lease portfolio, the practical expedients and process and policy change requirements. 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 2016-03 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.

7

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 new accounting rules will be effective for the Company for its year ending December 31, 2022. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new accounting rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

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. The amendments in this standard can be applied anytime between the first quarter of 2020 and the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

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 for 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, which was approved during the first quarter of 2022, to recover losses incurred up to the policy maximum of $10.0 million. The insurance recovery receivable is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022. The receivable is reflected in changes in Other assets within the operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and is recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The insurance recovery receivable was subsequently collected in April 2022.

NOTE 2—Transfer of Financial Assets

The Company has entered into an arrangement with a financial institution to sell certain US trade receivables on a non-recourse basis. The Company utilizes this arrangement as an integral part of financing working capital.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives cash proceeds and retains no rights or interest and has no obligations with respect to the sold receivables.  These transactions are accounted for as sold receivables which result in a reduction in trade receivables because the agreement transfers effective control over and risk related to the receivables to the buyer. Under this arrangement, the Company derecognized $27.6 million and $29.8 million of trade receivables during the three months ending March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively, and $140.7 million during the year ending December 31, 2021. The loss incurred on sold receivables in the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was not material. The Company does not carry any servicing assets or liabilities. Cash proceeds from this arrangement are reflected as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

NOTE 3—Fair Value Disclosure

The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Description	Balance Sheet Location	MARCH 31 2022		DECEMBER 31 2021		MARCH 31 2021
Assets:
Interest rate swap agreements
Current	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	400	$	—	$	—
Long-term	Other non-current assets	1,656		—		—
Foreign currency exchange contracts
Current	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	—		73		—
		$	2,056	$	73	$	—
Liabilities:

Foreign currency exchange contracts
Current	Other current liabilities	383		41		249
		$	383	$	912	$	1,173

The Company measures its derivatives at fair value using significant observable inputs, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates the LIBOR swap curve, foreign currency spot rates and foreign currency forward rates to value its derivatives, including its interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency exchange contracts, and also incorporates the effect of its subsidiary and counterparty credit risk into the valuation.

Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the revolving credit agreement, including book overdrafts, which approximate book value, was determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account subsidiary credit risk, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2, or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

NOTE 5—Revenue

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which includes an estimate for variable consideration.

HBB’s warranty program to the consumer consists generally of an assurance-type limited warranty lasting for varying periods of up to ten years for electric appliances, with the majority of products having a warranty of one to three years. There is no guarantee to the customer as HBB may repair or replace, at its option, those products returned under warranty.  Accordingly, the Company determined that no separate performance obligation exists.

HBB products are not sold with a general right of return. However, based on historical experience, a portion of products sold are estimated to be returned due to reasons such as product failure and excess inventory stocked by the customer, which, subject to certain terms and conditions, HBB will agree to accept. Product returns, customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, price competition, promotions, and other volume-based incentives are accounted for as variable consideration.

A description of revenue sources and performance obligations for HBB are as follows:

Consumer and Commercial product revenue

Transactions with both consumer and commercial customers generally originate upon the receipt of a purchase order from the customer, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, specifying product(s) that the customer desires. Contracts for product revenue have an original duration of one year or less, and payment terms are generally standard and based on customer creditworthiness. Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, which is either when product is shipped from the Company's facility, or delivered to customers, depending on the shipping terms. The amount of revenue recognized varies primarily with price concessions and changes in returns. The Company offers price concessions to its customers for incentive offerings, special pricing agreements, price competition, promotions or other volume-based arrangements. The Company evaluated such agreements with its customers and determined returns and price concessions should be accounted for as variable consideration.

Consumer product revenue consists of sales of small electric household and specialty housewares appliances to traditional brick and mortar and ecommerce retailers, distributors and directly to the end consumer. A majority of this revenue is in North America.

Commercial product revenue consists of sales of products to restaurants, fast-food chains, bars and hotels. Approximately one-half of commercial sales are in the U.S. and the other half is in markets across the globe.

License revenue

From time to time, the Company enters into exclusive and non-exclusive licensing agreements which grant the right to use certain of HBB’s intellectual property ("IP") in connection with designing, manufacturing, distributing, advertising, promoting and selling the licensees’ products during the term of the agreement. The IP that is licensed generally consists of trademarks, trade names, patents, trade dress, and/or logos (the “Licensed IP”). In exchange for granting the right to use the Licensed IP, HBB receives a royalty payment, which is a function of (1) the total net sales of products that use the Licensed IP and (2) the royalty percentage that is stated in the licensing agreement. HBB recognizes revenue at the later of when the subsequent sales occur or satisfying the performance obligation (over time).

NOTE 6—Contingencies

Hamilton Beach Brands Holdings Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business, including product liability, patent infringement, asbestos related claims, environmental and other claims. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these proceedings and claims, management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operation or cash flows of the Company. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible and which are material, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, in some circumstances, an estimate of the possible loss.

Proceedings and claims asserted against the Company or its subsidiaries are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.

Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company (HBBHC) is a defendant in a legal proceeding instituted in February 2020 in which the plaintiff seeks to hold the Company liable for the unsatisfied portion of an agreed final judgment that plaintiff obtained against The Kitchen Collection, LLC ("KC") related to KC’s failure to continue to operate forty-nine stores during the term of the store leases. In February 2020, KC agreed to the entry of a final judgment in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of $8.1 million and in April 2020 the plaintiff received $0.3 million in the final distribution of KC assets to KC creditors. The Company believes that the plaintiff’s claims are without merit and will vigorously defend against plaintiff’s claims.

Environmental matters

HBB is investigating or remediating historical environmental contamination at some current and former sites operated by HBB or by businesses it acquired. Based on the current stage of the investigation or remediation at each known site, HBB estimates the total investigation and remediation costs and the period of assessment and remediation activity required for each site. The estimate of future investigation and remediation costs is primarily based on variables associated with site clean-up, including, but not limited to, physical characteristics of the site, the nature and extent of the contamination and applicable regulatory programs and remediation standards. No assessment can fully characterize all subsurface conditions at a site. There is no assurance that additional assessment and remediation efforts will not result in adjustments to estimated remediation costs or the time frame for remediation at these sites.

HBB's estimates of investigation and remediation costs may change if it discovers contamination at additional sites or additional contamination at known sites, if the effectiveness of its current remediation efforts change, if applicable federal or state regulations change or if HBB's estimate of the time required to remediate the sites changes. HBB's revised estimates may differ materially from original estimates.

At March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, HBB had accrued undiscounted obligations of $3.4 million, $3.4 million and $3.1 million respectively, for environmental investigation and remediation activities. HBB estimates that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional expenses in the range of zero to $1.7 million related to the environmental investigation and remediation at these sites.

NOTE 7—Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period.

The effective tax rate on income was 32.0% and 34.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was unfavorably impacted by interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits and a valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets related to the Brazil liquidation as discrete expense items. The effective tax rate for 2021 was unfavorably impacted by interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as a discrete expense item.

Item 2. - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Dollars in thousands, except as noted and per share data)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based upon management's current expectations and are subject to various uncertainties and changes in circumstances. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements are set forth below under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements."

HBB is the Company's single reportable segment and intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

For a summary of the Company's critical accounting policies, refer to “Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as there have been no material changes from those disclosed in the Annual Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s business is seasonal and a majority of revenue and operating profit typically occurs in the second half of the year when sales of small electric appliances and kitchenware historically increase significantly for the fall holiday-selling season.

13

Revenue - Revenue decreased $2.9 million, or 1.9%, due primarily to lower sales volume in the US and Canadian Consumer markets compared to prior year. Partially offsetting these decreases were revenue increases in the Latin American and Global Commercial markets where demand remained strong. The Company has successfully implemented price increases which have partially offset the volume decline.

Gross profit - As a percentage of revenue, gross profit margin decreased from 21.2% in the prior year to 19.3% in the current year primarily due to product and customer mix. Additionally, while planned price increases that became effective in the first quarter of 2022 offset a significant portion of the higher product and transportation costs, the Company was not able to fully recover the increased shipping container costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses - Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $10.9 million due primarily to the $10.0 million insurance recovery recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Compared to prior year, outside services decreased, and overall employee-related costs were lower, driven by a decrease in incentive compensation as a result of a decrease in the Company's stock price.

Other expense (income), net - For the first quarter of 2022, other expense (income), net includes currency losses of $1.8 million compared with currency losses of $0.4 million in 2021. This increase is driven by the liquidation of the Brazilian subsidiary, which resulted in $2.1 million of accumulated other comprehensive losses being released into other expense (income), net during the quarter.

Income tax expense (benefit) - The effective tax rate on income was 32.0% and 34.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was unfavorably impacted by interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits and a valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets related to the Brazil liquidation as discrete expense items. The effective tax rate for 2021 was unfavorably impacted by interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as a discrete expense item.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company cash flows are provided by dividends paid or distributions made by its subsidiaries. The only material assets held by it are the investments in consolidated subsidiaries. As a result, certain statutory limitations or regulatory or financing agreements could affect the levels of distributions allowed to be made by its subsidiaries. Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company has not guaranteed any of the obligations of its subsidiaries.

HBB's principal sources of cash to fund liquidity needs are: (i) cash generated from operations and (ii) borrowings available under the revolving credit facility, as defined below. HBB's primary use of funds consists of working capital requirements, operating expenses, capital expenditures, cash dividends, and payments of principal and interest on debt.

HBB maintains a $150.0 million senior secured floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “HBB Facility”) that expires on June 30, 2025. HBB believes funds available from cash on hand, the HBB Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months.

14

The following table presents selected cash flow information:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31
	2022		2021
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities	$	(20,755)	$	(1,889)
Net cash provided by (used for) investing activities	$	(406)	$	(1,746)
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities	$	21,014	$	2,693

Operating activities - Net cash used for operating activities was $20.8 million compared to $1.9 million in the prior year primarily due to net working capital which was a use of cash of $24.9 million in 2022 compared to a use of cash of $2.5 million in 2021. In 2022, trade receivables provided net cash of $15.5 million compared to $36.9 million in the prior year due to the timing of collections and decreased fourth quarter sales in 2021 compared to 2020. Net cash used for inventory and accounts payable combined was relatively flat year over year. Inventory has increased compared to the quarter-ended March 31, 2021 and the year-ended December 31, 2021 driven by longer lead times as a result of supply chain and transportation disruptions. Additionally, the insurance recovery receivable, which was collected in April 2022, is included in other assets as of March 31, 2022.

Investing activities - Net cash used for investing activities decreased in 2022 compared to 2021 due to capital spending for the Company's new distribution center leased facility in 2021 that did not recur.

Financing activities - Net cash provided by financing activities was $21.0 million compared to $2.7 million in 2021.  The change is due to an increase in HBB's net borrowing activity on the revolving credit facility to fund net working capital.

Capital Resources

The Company expects to continue to borrow against the HBB Facility and make voluntary repayments within the next twelve months. The obligations under the HBB Facility are secured by substantially all of HBB's assets. At March 31, 2022, the borrowing base under the HBB Facility was $148.4 million and borrowings outstanding were $119.3 million. At March 31, 2022, the excess availability under the HBB Facility was $29.1 million.

The maximum availability under the HBB Facility is governed by a borrowing base derived from advance rates against eligible trade receivables, inventory and trademarks of the borrowers, as defined in the HBB Facility. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate, which can be a base rate, LIBOR or bankers' acceptance rate, as defined in the HBB Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effective March 31, 2022, for base rate loans and LIBOR loans denominated in US dollars were 0.0% and 1.75%, respectively. The applicable margins, effective March 31, 2022, for base rate loans and bankers' acceptance loans denominated in Canadian dollars were 0.0% and 1.75%, respectively. The HBB Facility also requires a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused commitment. The margins and unused commitment fee under the HBB Facility are subject to quarterly adjustment based on average excess availability. The weighted average interest rate applicable to the HBB Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 2.4% including the floating rate margin and the effect of the interest rate swap agreements described below.

To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, HBB has entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of the HBB Facility. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require HBB to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. HBB has interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $50.0 million at March 31, 2022 at an average fixed interest rate of 0.95%. HBB also entered into delayed-start interest rate swaps. These swaps have notional values totaling $50.0 million as of March 31, 2022, with an average fixed interest rate of 1.67%.

15

The HBB Facility includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends to Hamilton Beach Holding, subject to achieving availability thresholds. Under Amendment No. 10 to the HBB Facility, dividends to Hamilton Beach Holding are not to exceed $7.0 million during any calendar year to the extent that for the thirty days prior to the dividend payment date, and after giving effect to the dividend payment, HBB maintains excess availability of at least $18.0 million. Dividends to Hamilton Beach Holding are discretionary to the extent that for the thirty days prior to the dividend payment date, and after giving effect to the dividend payment, HBB maintains excess availability of at least $30.0 million. The HBB Facility also requires HBB to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio in certain circumstances, as defined in the HBB Facility. At March 31, 2022, HBB was in compliance with all financial covenants in the HBB Facility.

In December 2015, the Company entered into an arrangement with a financial institution to sell certain US trade receivables on a non-recourse basis. The Company utilizes this arrangement as an integral part of financing working capital. See Note 2 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

HBB believes funds available from cash on hand, the HBB Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward looking statements are made subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: (1) the Company’s ability to source and ship products to meet anticipated demand, (2) the Company’s ability to successfully manage ongoing constraints throughout the global transportation supply chain, (3) the unpredictable nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on the Company's business; (4) the direct and indirect impacts of the increasingly volatile global economic conditions as a result of the conflict in Ukraine; (5) changes in the sales prices, product mix or levels of consumer purchases of small electric and specialty housewares appliances, (6) changes in consumer retail and credit markets, including the increasing volume of transactions made through third-party internet sellers, (7) bankruptcy of or loss of major retail customers or suppliers, (8) changes in costs, including transportation costs, of sourced products, (9) delays in delivery of sourced products, (10) changes in or unavailability of quality or cost effective suppliers, (11) exchange rate fluctuations, changes in the import tariffs and monetary policies and other changes in the regulatory climate in the countries in which the Company buys, operates and/or sells products, (12) the impact of tariffs on customer purchasing patterns, (13) product liability, regulatory actions or other litigation, warranty claims or returns of products, (14) customer acceptance of, changes in costs of, or delays in the development of new products, (15) increased competition, including consolidation within the industry, (16) shifts in consumer shopping patterns, gasoline prices, weather conditions, the level of consumer confidence and disposable income as a result of economic conditions, unemployment rates or other events or conditions that may adversely affect the level of customer purchases of HBB products, (17) changes mandated by federal, state and other regulation, including tax, health, safety or environmental legislation, and (18) other risk factors, including those described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Furthermore, the situation surrounding COVID-19, including the mutation of variants, continues to remain fluid globally and the Company continues to manage ongoing challenges associated with the pandemic as they relate to demand, supply and operations. The potential for a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and stock price remains a risk. The Company cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty any future impact of COVID-19. The extent of any impact will depend on the scope of any new virus mutations and outbreaks, the nature of government public health guidelines and the public’s adherence to those guidelines, the rate of individuals becoming fully vaccinated and the public's adherence to guidelines to receive booster shots, the success of business and economic recovery as the pandemic recedes, the easing of pandemic-driven supply chain disruptions, unemployment levels, and the extent to which new lockdowns may be needed or are required in particular countries including China.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

INTEREST RATE RISK

HBB enters into certain financing arrangements that require interest payments based on floating interest rates. As such, the Company's financial results are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. There is an inherent rollover risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements. To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, HBB has entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of its floating rate financing arrangements. The Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require HBB to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate.

For purposes of risk analysis, the Company uses sensitivity analysis to measure the potential loss in fair value of financial instruments sensitive to changes in interest rates. The Company assumes that a loss in fair value is an increase to its receivables. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements was an asset of $2.0 million at March 31, 2022. A hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates would cause a decrease of $0.3 million in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements. Additionally, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would cause an increase of $0.3 million in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements. Neither would have a material impact to the Company's interest expense, net of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

17

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

HBB operates internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies, principally the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and, to a lesser extent, the Chinese Yuan and Brazilian Real. As such, HBB's financial results are subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The fluctuation in the value of the US dollar against other currencies affects the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities.

HBB uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies and not for trading purposes. These contracts generally mature within twelve months and require HBB to buy or sell the functional currency in which the applicable subsidiary operates and buy or sell US dollars at rates agreed to at the inception of the contracts.

For purposes of risk analysis, the Company uses sensitivity analysis to measure the potential loss in fair value of financial instruments sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange spot rates. The Company assumes that a loss in fair value is either a decrease to its assets or an increase to its liabilities. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency exchange contracts was a payable of $0.4 million at March 31, 2022. Assuming a hypothetical 10% weakening of the US dollar at March 31, 2022, the fair value of foreign currency-sensitive financial instruments, which represents forward foreign currency exchange contracts, would be decreased by $2.0 million compared with its fair value at March 31, 2022.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

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 a wide range of branded, small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, fast food chains, bars, and hotels. HBB operates in the consumer and commercial 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 three months ended March 31, 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 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 and is currently evaluating to what extent ASU 2016-02 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. We are also evaluating our lease portfolio, the practical expedients and process and policy change requirements. 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 2016-03 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 new accounting rules will be effective for the Company for its year ending December 31, 2022. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new accounting rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

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. The amendments in this standard can be applied anytime between the first quarter of 2020 and the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

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 for 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, which was approved during the first quarter of 2022, to recover losses incurred up to the policy maximum of $10.0 million. The insurance recovery receivable is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022. The receivable is reflected in changes in Other assets within the operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and is recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The insurance recovery receivable was subsequently collected in April 2022.

Transfer of Financial Assets	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2022
Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]
Transfer of Financial Assets	Transfer of Financial Assets The Company has entered into an arrangement with a financial institution to sell certain US trade receivables on a non-recourse basis. The Company utilizes this arrangement as an integral part of financing working capital.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives cash proceeds and retains no rights or interest and has no obligations with respect to the sold receivables.  These transactions are accounted for as sold receivables which result in a reduction in trade receivables because the agreement transfers effective control over and risk related to the receivables to the buyer. Under this arrangement, the Company derecognized $27.6 million and $29.8 million of trade receivables during the three months ending March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively, and $140.7 million during the year ending December 31, 2021. The loss incurred on sold receivables in the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was not material. The Company does not carry any servicing assets or liabilities. Cash proceeds from this arrangement are reflected as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company measures its derivatives at fair value using significant observable inputs, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates the LIBOR swap curve, foreign currency spot rates and foreign currency forward rates to value its derivatives, including its interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency exchange contracts, and also incorporates the effect of its subsidiary and counterparty credit risk into the valuation.

Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the revolving credit agreement, including book overdrafts, which approximate book value, was determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account subsidiary credit risk, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2, or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

Revenue

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which includes an estimate for variable consideration.

HBB’s warranty program to the consumer consists generally of an assurance-type limited warranty lasting for varying periods of up to ten years for electric appliances, with the majority of products having a warranty of one to three years. There is no guarantee to the customer as HBB may repair or replace, at its option, those products returned under warranty.  Accordingly, the Company determined that no separate performance obligation exists.

HBB products are not sold with a general right of return. However, based on historical experience, a portion of products sold are estimated to be returned due to reasons such as product failure and excess inventory stocked by the customer, which, subject to certain terms and conditions, HBB will agree to accept. Product returns, customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, price competition, promotions, and other volume-based incentives are accounted for as variable consideration.

A description of revenue sources and performance obligations for HBB are as follows:

Consumer and Commercial product revenue

Transactions with both consumer and commercial customers generally originate upon the receipt of a purchase order from the customer, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, specifying product(s) that the customer desires. Contracts for product revenue have an original duration of one year or less, and payment terms are generally standard and based on customer creditworthiness. Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, which is either when product is shipped from the Company's facility, or delivered to customers, depending on the shipping terms. The amount of revenue recognized varies primarily with price concessions and changes in returns. The Company offers price concessions to its customers for incentive offerings, special pricing agreements, price competition, promotions or other volume-based arrangements. The Company evaluated such agreements with its customers and determined returns and price concessions should be accounted for as variable consideration.

Consumer product revenue consists of sales of small electric household and specialty housewares appliances to traditional brick and mortar and ecommerce retailers, distributors and directly to the end consumer. A majority of this revenue is in North America.

Commercial product revenue consists of sales of products to restaurants, fast-food chains, bars and hotels. Approximately one-half of commercial sales are in the U.S. and the other half is in markets across the globe.

License revenue

From time to time, the Company enters into exclusive and non-exclusive licensing agreements which grant the right to use certain of HBB’s intellectual property ("IP") in connection with designing, manufacturing, distributing, advertising, promoting and selling the licensees’ products during the term of the agreement. The IP that is licensed generally consists of trademarks, trade names, patents, trade dress, and/or logos (the “Licensed IP”). In exchange for granting the right to use the Licensed IP, HBB receives a royalty payment, which is a function of (1) the total net sales of products that use the Licensed IP and (2) the royalty percentage that is stated in the licensing agreement. HBB recognizes revenue at the later of when the subsequent sales occur or satisfying the performance obligation (over time).

The following table sets forth Company's revenue on a disaggregated basis for the three months ended March 31:

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Contingencies

Contingencies

Hamilton Beach Brands Holdings Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business, including product liability, patent infringement, asbestos related claims, environmental and other claims. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these proceedings and claims, management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operation or cash flows of the Company. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible and which are material, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, in some circumstances, an estimate of the possible loss.

Proceedings and claims asserted against the Company or its subsidiaries are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.

Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company (HBBHC) is a defendant in a legal proceeding instituted in February 2020 in which the plaintiff seeks to hold the Company liable for the unsatisfied portion of an agreed final judgment that plaintiff obtained against The Kitchen Collection, LLC ("KC") related to KC’s failure to continue to operate forty-nine stores during the term of the store leases. In February 2020, KC agreed to the entry of a final judgment in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of $8.1 million and in April 2020 the plaintiff received $0.3 million in the final distribution of KC assets to KC creditors. The Company believes that the plaintiff’s claims are without merit and will vigorously defend against plaintiff’s claims.

Environmental matters

HBB is investigating or remediating historical environmental contamination at some current and former sites operated by HBB or by businesses it acquired. Based on the current stage of the investigation or remediation at each known site, HBB estimates the total investigation and remediation costs and the period of assessment and remediation activity required for each site. The estimate of future investigation and remediation costs is primarily based on variables associated with site clean-up, including, but not limited to, physical characteristics of the site, the nature and extent of the contamination and applicable regulatory programs and remediation standards. No assessment can fully characterize all subsurface conditions at a site. There is no assurance that additional assessment and remediation efforts will not result in adjustments to estimated remediation costs or the time frame for remediation at these sites.

HBB's estimates of investigation and remediation costs may change if it discovers contamination at additional sites or additional contamination at known sites, if the effectiveness of its current remediation efforts change, if applicable federal or state regulations change or if HBB's estimate of the time required to remediate the sites changes. HBB's revised estimates may differ materially from original estimates.

At March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, HBB had accrued undiscounted obligations of $3.4 million, $3.4 million and $3.1 million respectively, for environmental investigation and remediation activities. HBB estimates that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional expenses in the range of zero to $1.7 million related to the environmental investigation and remediation at these sites.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income TaxesThe Company's provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period.The effective tax rate on income was 32.0% and 34.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was unfavorably impacted by interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits and a valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets related to the Brazil liquidation as discrete expense items. The effective tax rate for 2021 was unfavorably impacted by interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as a discrete expense item.

Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Policies)

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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 a wide range of branded, small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, fast food chains, bars, and hotels. HBB operates in the consumer and commercial 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 three months ended March 31, 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 Not Yet Adopted

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 and is currently evaluating to what extent ASU 2016-02 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. We are also evaluating our lease portfolio, the practical expedients and process and policy change requirements. 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 2016-03 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 new accounting rules will be effective for the Company for its year ending December 31, 2022. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new accounting rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

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. The amendments in this standard can be applied anytime between the first quarter of 2020 and the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets Held for SaleDuring 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.
