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.

The Company’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 consumer as the Company may repair or replace, in its discretion, products returned under warranty. Accordingly, the Company determined that no separate performance obligation exists.

Most of the Company’s products are not sold with a general right of return. Subject to certain terms and conditions, however, the Company will agree to accept a portion of products sold that, based on historical experience, are estimated to be returned for reasons such as product failure and excess inventory stocked by the customer. 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 the Company 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 a 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 a product is shipped from a Company 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 for restaurants, fast-food chains, bars and hotels. Approximately two-thirds of the Company’s commercial sales is in the U.S. and the remaining 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 the Company’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, logos and/or products (the “Licensed IP”). In exchange for granting the right to use the Licensed IP, the Company 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. The Company recognizes revenue at the later of when the subsequent sales occur or when the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Additionally, the Company enters into agreements which grant the right to use software for healthcare management. The Company receives a license payment which is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied over time or as usage occurs based on the contract with the customer.

Lease revenue

The Company leases connected devices to specialty pharmacy networks and pharmaceutical companies and is accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases as operating leases.
