HAMILTON BEACH BRANDS HOLDING COMPANY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2019

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

NOTE 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Hamilton Beach Holding” or the “Company”). The Company manages its subsidiaries primarily by reportable segment, which are Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (“HBB”) and The Kitchen Collection, LLC ("KC"). The Company includes the required intercompany eliminations between its reportable segments. Costs incurred as a stand-alone public entity are allocated to the HBB segment. The only material assets held by Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company are its investments in consolidated subsidiaries. Substantially all of its cash flows are provided by dividends paid or distributions made by its subsidiaries.

HBB is a leading designer, marketer and distributor of branded, small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels. KC is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware primarily in outlet malls throughout the United States ("U.S.").  

Prior period interest income amounts have been reclassified from other (income) expense, net to interest expense, net and prior period non-trade customer receivable amounts have been reclassified from trade receivables, net to prepaid expenses and other current assets to conform to the current period presentation.

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the statements of operations, comprehensive loss, and changes in equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 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, 2018.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year due to the highly seasonal nature of our primary markets. A majority of revenue and operating profit occurs in the second half of the calendar year when sales of our products to retailers and consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday-selling season.

These quarterly financial statements reflect the significant accounting policies that are described in Note 2 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The following new accounting policy is reflected in these quarterly financial statements as a result of the share repurchases made during the second quarter of 2019:

Treasury Stock

The Company records the aggregate purchase price of treasury stock at cost and includes treasury stock as a reduction to equity.

NOTE 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Adopted

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)," which amends the requirements in U.S. GAAP related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity's sponsored defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019. The change in presentation of the components of net periodic pension cost was applied retrospectively which resulted in $0.2 million and $0.4 million of net periodic pension income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, being reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to other (income) expense, net.

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.

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 effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is planning to adopt ASU 2016-02 for its year ending December 31, 2020 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.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-03, “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, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is planning to adopt ASU 2016-03 for its year ending December 31, 2021 and is currently evaluating to what extent ASU 2016-03 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

NOTE 3—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. A description of the performance obligations for each segment is as follows:

Hamilton Beach Brands

• Product revenue - Product revenue consist of sales of small electric household and specialty housewares appliances to traditional brick and mortar and e-commerce retailers, distributors and directly to the end consumer as well as sales of commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels. Transactions with these 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 generally 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 consideration received and revenue recognized varies with changes in incentives, returns and consideration paid to customers for advertising arrangements.

8

• License revenues - 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, tradenames, patents, trade dress, and/or logos (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 satisfying the performance obligation (over time).

Kitchen Collection

• Product revenue - KC sells a variety of kitchenware products from a number of highly recognizable name brands to individual consumers. Products are sold through brick and mortar retail stores whereby customers come into KC stores, explore the assortment of merchandise available for sale, select various products that they desire to purchase, bring those products to the sales register and pay the cashier the agreed-upon price using either cash, check or credit card. Once the sale is complete, a receipt is generated and provided to the customer as proof of purchase. Therefore, the sales process is both originated and completed simultaneously at the point of sale. Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, which occurs when the products are scanned at the sales register. The amount of consideration received and revenue recognized varies with changes in returns.

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.

The following table presents the Company's revenue on a disaggregated basis for the three and six months ending:

NOTE 5—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	JUNE 30 2019		DECEMBER 31 2018		JUNE 30 2018
Assets:

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.

During the periods ended June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, there were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3.

NOTE 6—Contingencies

Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against Hamilton Beach Holding and certain subsidiaries relating to the conduct of their businesses, including product liability, patent infringement, asbestos related claims, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business of the Company. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. 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.

These matters 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 of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.

HBB is a defendant in a legal proceeding in which the plaintiff alleges that certain HBB products infringe the plaintiff’s patents. On May 3, 2019, the jury returned its verdict finding that the Company had infringed certain patents of the plaintiff and, as a result, awarded the plaintiff damages in the amount of $3.2 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded $3.2 million expense in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2019 for the contingent loss. The Company believes that its products do not infringe on the plaintiff’s patents and is evaluating post-trial motions and appeal of any adverse judgment.

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 June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018, and June 30, 2018, HBB had accrued undiscounted obligations of $4.6 million, $8.2 million, and $8.5 million respectively, for environmental investigation and remediation activities. The reduction in the amount accrued at June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 is the result of a change in the expected type and extent of investigation and remediation activities associated with one of the sites, due to additional testing and assessment performed with respect to that site. In addition, HBB estimates that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional expenses in the range of zero to $3.9 million related to the environmental investigation and remediation at these sites.

NOTE 7—Business Segments

As described in Note 1, the Company's reportable segments include HBB and KC. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Company described in Note 2 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The line “Eliminations” in the revenue section eliminates revenue from HBB sales to KC. Intercompany revenue is based on current market prices of similar third-party transactions.

NOTE 8—Transfer of Financial Assets

The Company has entered into an arrangement with a financial institution to sell certain U.S. 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$33.4 million and $67.9 million of trade receivables during the three and six months endingJune 30, 2019, respectively, $38.8 million and $70.2 million of trade receivables during the three and six months ending June 30, 2018, respectively, and $165.4 million during the year ending December 31, 2018. The loss incurred on sold receivables in the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL SUMMARY

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 increase significantly for the fall holiday-selling season.

The consolidated financial summary of the Company includes the required intercompany eliminations between its reportable segments. Costs incurred as a stand-alone public entity are allocated to the HBB segment. Detailed comparisons of revenue and operating profit (loss) are presented in the discussions of the reportable segments, which follow the Hamilton Beach Holding results discussion.

Effective income tax rate 12.9 % 26.7 %

Revenue - Revenue decreased $9.5 million, or 6.0%. KC's revenue decreased 19.7% primarily due to the closure of underperforming stores and a decline in comparable store sales. HBB revenue decreased 3.7% primarily due to lower sales volume.

Gross profit - Gross profit decreased $5.2 million, or 12.7%. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit declined from 25.9% to 24.0% due to a decline in gross profit margin in both the HBB and KC segments.

13

Selling, general and administrative expenses - Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.5 million, or 11.2%. The decrease is primarily due to KC's lower selling, general and administrative expenses due to a reduction in net corporate expenses and the benefits realized from closing unprofitable stores. HBB selling, general and administrative expenses also decreased primarily due to a $3.7 million decline in the environmental reserve at one site and lower employee-related costs, partially offset by a one-time charge of $3.2 million for a contingent loss related to patent litigation.

Interest expense, net - Interest expense, net remained consistent with the prior year. A decrease in average borrowings outstanding under HBB's revolving credit facilities was offset by higher average interest rates.

Other (income) expense, net - Other income for the second quarter of 2019 includes currency gains of $0.1 million compared with other expense in 2018 related to currency losses of $0.7 million.

Revenue - Revenue decreased $10.8 million, or 3.5%. KC's revenue decreased 16.3% primarily due to the closure of underperforming stores and a decline in comparable store sales. HBB's revenue declined 1.4% primarily due to lower sales volume and unfavorable foreign currency movements.

Gross profit - Gross profit decreased $8.3 million, or 10.5%. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit declined from 25.8% to 24.0% due to a decline in gross profit margin in both the HBB and KC segments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses - Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $6.0 million, or 7.7%. The decrease is primarily due to KC's lower selling, general and administrative expenses due to a reduction in net corporate expenses and the benefits realized from closing unprofitable stores. HBB selling, general and administrative expenses also decreased primarily due to a $3.7 million decline in the environmental reserve at one site and lower employee-related costs, partially offset by a one-time charge of $3.2 million for a contingent loss related to patent litigation and an increase in legal and professional service fees.

SEGMENT RESULTS

Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc.

Second Quarter of 2019 Compared with Second Quarter of 2018

The results of operations for HBB were as follows for the three months ended June 30:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30
	2019		% of Revenue		2018		% of Revenue
Revenue	$	130,851	100.0	%	$	135,869	100.0	%

Operating expenses	24,728		18.9	%	26,258		19.3	%
Operating profit	$	2,974	2.3	%	$	4,190	3.1	%

The following table identifies the components of the change in revenue for the second quarter of 2019 compared with the second quarter of 2018:

	Revenue
2018	$	135,869
(Decrease) increase from:
Unit volume and product mix	(5,920		)
Foreign currency	(527		)
Average sales price	1,429
2019	$	130,851

Revenue decreased $5.0 million, or 3.7%. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to lower sales volume in the U.S. consumer and global commercial markets, partially offset by increased sales in the international consumer market. Unfavorable foreign currency movements also contributed to the decline in revenue as the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real and Chinese yuan weakened against the U.S. dollar.

The following table identifies the components of the change in operating profit for the second quarter of 2019 compared with the second quarter of 2018:

	Operating Profit
2018	$	4,190
(Decrease) increase from:
Gross profit	(2,746		)
Selling, general and administrative expenses	1,530
2019	$	2,974

HBB's operating profit decreased $1.2 million primarily due to a $2.8 million decrease in gross profit offset by a $1.5 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. The decline in gross profit is primarily due to lower sales volume. As a percentage of revenue, HBB gross profit margin declined from 22.4% to 21.2% primarily due to increased inbound freight expenses and unfavorable foreign currency movements.

15

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to a $3.7 million decline in the environmental reserve at one site and $0.6 million in lower employee-related costs that included a decrease in accrued incentive compensation driven by a lower market price of the Company's stock during the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was partially offset by a one-time charge of $3.2 million for a contingent loss related to patent litigation. The decline in the environmental reserve is the result of a change in the expected type and extent of investigation and remediation activities associated with one site, due to additional testing and assessment performed with respect to that site.

2019	$	257,579

Revenue decreased $3.7 million, or 1.4%. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to lower sales in the global commercial and international consumer markets.

(Decrease) increase from:
Gross profit	(4,190		)

HBB's operating profit decreased $3.4 million primarily due to a $4.2 million decrease in gross profit offset by a $0.8 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. The decline in gross profit is primarily due to lower sales volumes. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit margin declined from 22.3% to 20.9%, primarily due to increased inbound freight expenses and unfavorable foreign currency movements.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 decreased $4.5 million, or 19.7%, primarily due to the closure of 37 underperforming stores and a decline in comparable store sales. The decrease in comparable store sales was due to a decline in customer traffic.

Gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue declined from 45.6% to 43.8% primarily due to increased inbound freight.

New stores	240
2019	$	37,536

Revenue for the first six months of 2019 decreased $7.3 million, or 16.3%, primarily due to the closure of 37 underperforming stores and a decline in comparable store sales. The decrease in comparable store sales was due to a decline in customer traffic.

Gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue declined from 45.7% to 44.1% primarily due to increased inbound freight and liquidation sales at twenty-seven stores which closed during the first six months of 2019.

The following table identifies the components of the change in operating loss for the first six months of 2019 compared with the first six months of 2018:

	Operating Loss
2018	$	(8,138	)
Decrease (increase) from:
Selling, general and administrative expenses and other	1,066
Closed stores	471
New stores	45
Comparable stores	(364		)
2019	$	(6,920	)

KC's operating loss decreased $1.2 million in the first six months of 2019 compared with the first six months of 2018 primarily due to a reduction in corporate expenses and the benefits realized from closing unprofitable stores, which was partially offset by increased operating losses at comparable stores.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HBB and KC, thus the only material assets held by it are the investments in consolidated subsidiaries. Substantially all of its cash flows are provided by dividends paid or distributions made by its 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. The following is a discussion of the changes in the Company's cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with June 30, 2018.

	SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE

Decrease in cash	$	(5,221	)	$	(8,944	)	$	3,723

Operating activities - Net cash used for operating activities decreased $14.1 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the prior year primarily due to efficient management of net working capital in both the HBB and KC segments, which included a $24.4 million decline in inventory as of June 30, 2019 compared with the prior year. The decrease in net cash used for operating activities was partially offset by decreased HBB accrued payroll, product returns and cooperative advertising.

HBB had a use of cash related to net working capital of $18.3 million in 2019 compared to $31.7 million in 2018. The improvement was driven by improved management of inventory, partially offset by changes in trade receivables due to timing of collections.

KC had a use of cash related to net working capital of $4.7 million in 2019 compared to $8.8 million in 2018 primarily due to lower inventory as a result of store closures.

Investing activities - Net cash used for investing activities decreased in the first six months of 2019 primarily due to lower capital expenditures related to HBB internal-use software development costs.

19

Financing activities - Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $12.3 million primarily due to HBB's decreased net borrowings on the revolving credit facility of $10.1 million and treasury stock purchases of $2.3 million during the first six months of 2019.

Financing Activities

HBB: HBB has a $115.0 million senior secured floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “HBB Facility”) that expires in June 2021. The current portion of borrowings outstanding represents expected voluntary repayments to be made in the next twelve months. The obligations under the HBB Facility are secured by substantially all of HBB's assets. The approximate book value of HBB's assets held as collateral under the HBB Facility was $278.1 million as of June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, the borrowing base under the HBB Facility was $113.3 million and borrowings outstanding were $81.5 million. At June 30, 2019, the excess availability under the HBB Facility was $31.8 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 June 30, 2019, for base rate loans and LIBOR loans denominated in U.S. dollars were 0.0% and 1.5%, respectively. The applicable margins, effective June 30, 2019, for base rate loans and bankers' acceptance loans denominated in Canadian dollars were 0.0% and 1.5%, 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 at June 30, 2019 was 3.7% 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 $35.0 million at June 30, 2019 at an average fixed interest rate of 1.5%. HBB also has delayed-start interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $10.0 million as of June 30, 2019, with fixed rates of 1.7%.

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. 6 to the HBB Facility, dividends to Hamilton Beach Holding are not to exceed $5.0 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 not less than $15.0 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 not less than $25.0 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 June 30, 2019, HBB was in compliance with all financial covenants in the HBB Facility.

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 and until the expiration of the HBB Facility.

KC: KC has a $20.0 million secured revolving line of credit that expires in October 2022 (the “KC Facility”). The obligations under the KC Facility are secured by substantially all assets of KC. The approximate book value of KC's assets held as collateral under the KC Facility was $27.4 million as of June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, the borrowing base under the KC Facility, net of required minimum availability, was $10.3 million and borrowings outstanding under the KC Facility were $9.5 million. At June 30, 2019, the excess availability under the KC Facility was $0.8 million.

The maximum availability under the KC Facility is derived from a borrowing base formula using KC's eligible inventory and eligible trade receivables, as defined in the KC Facility. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus a margin based on the excess availability under the agreement, as defined in the KC Facility, which can be either a base rate plus a margin of 0.75% or LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% as of June 30, 2019. The KC Facility also requires a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused commitment.

20

The KC Facility allows for the payment of dividends to Hamilton Beach Holding, subject to certain restrictions based on availability and meeting a fixed charge coverage ratio as described in the KC Facility. Dividends are limited to (i) $6.0 million in any twelve-month period, so long as KC has excess availability, as defined in the KC Facility, of at least $5.0 million after giving effect to such payment and maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, as defined in the KC Facility; (ii) $2.0 million in any twelve-month period, so long as KC has excess availability, as defined in the KC Facility, of at least $5.0 million after giving effect to such payment; and (iii) in such amounts as determined by KC, so long as KC has excess availability under the KC Facility of $10.0 million after giving effect to such payment. At June 30, 2019, KC was in compliance with all financial covenants in the KC Facility.

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

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

For a summary of the Company's contractual obligations, contingent liabilities and commitments, refer to “Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 as there have been no material changes from those disclosed in our Annual Report.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

For a summary of the Company's off balance sheet arrangements, refer to "Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Off Balance Sheet Arrangements” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 as there have been no material changes from those disclosed in our Annual Report.

Capital Expenditures

The Company's capital expenditures were $2.1 million and $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2019 are $2.8 million which are primarily for the continued investment in the Company's information technology infrastructure and HBB's tooling for new products. These expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

Capital Structure

The Company's working capital is significantly affected by the seasonality of the segments. The following is a discussion of the changes in the Company's capital structure as of June 30, 2019 compared with both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018.

June 30, 2019 Compared with June 30, 2018

	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018			Change
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,131		$	1,962		$	(831	)
Other net tangible assets	138,840			138,062			778
Goodwill and intangible assets, net	10,081			11,462			(1,381		)
Net assets	150,052			151,486			(1,434		)
Total debt	(90,955		)	(105,476		)	14,521
Total equity	$	59,097		$	46,010		$	13,087
Debt to total capitalization	60.6		%	69.6		%	(9.0		)%

Other net tangible assets - Other net tangible assets increased by $0.8 million from June 30, 2018.

HBB's other net tangible assets increased $5.3 million primarily due to increased trade receivables and decreased accounts payable due to timing of collections and payments, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in inventory of $17.3 million due to improved inventory management.

21

KC's other net tangible assets decreased $4.3 million primarily due to decreased inventory, partially offset by decreased accounts payable.  The decrease in inventory is primarily due to the store closures since the second quarter of 2018 and the decrease in accounts payable was mainly attributable to the timing of inventory purchases.

Total debt - Total debt decreased by $14.5 million primarily due to the decline in net cash used for operating activities resulting from efficient management of net working capital in both the HBB and KC segments, partially offset by the 2019 share repurchases.

June 30, 2019 Compared with December 31, 2018

	June 30, 2019			December 31, 2018			Change
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,131		$	6,352		$	(5,221	)
Other net tangible assets	138,840			94,938			43,902
Goodwill and intangible assets, net	10,081			10,772			(691		)
Net assets	150,052			112,062			37,990
Total debt	(90,955		)	(46,624		)	(44,331		)
Total equity	$	59,097		$	65,438		$	(6,341	)
Debt to total capitalization	60.6		%	41.6		%	19.0		%

Other net tangible assets - Other net tangible assets increased by $43.9 million in the first six months of 2019.

HBB's other net tangible assets increased $38.0 million primarily due to decreases in accounts payable and other liabilities attributable to the timing of payments. This was partially offset by a reduction in trade receivables consistent with the seasonality of sales.

KC's other net tangible assets increased $5.7 million primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by decreased inventory. The change in accounts payable was due to the timing of inventory purchases and the decrease in inventory is primarily due to store closures in the first six months of 2019.

Total debt - Total debt increased by $44.3 million to fund HBB and KC working capital due to seasonality.

OUTLOOK

HBB: HBB's business is seasonal and a majority of its revenue and operating profit is earned in the second half of the year when sales of small electric appliances to retailers and consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday-selling season. For the past five years, on average, 60% of revenue and 86% of operating profit have been earned in the second half of the year. HBB is pleased with the level of placements and promotional support that have been secured thus far for the second half of 2019 and expects operating profit to increase compared to the second half of 2018. HBB continues to finalize customer commitments for the holiday-selling season and may revise its second half outlook as plans are confirmed in the third quarter. Consumer confidence in the economy and household finances and trends in spending levels and items purchased will ultimately determine the success of the 2019 holiday-selling season. For the full year 2019, HBB expects revenue to grow moderately as a result of the continued successful implementation of its Strategic Initiatives, including new consumer and commercial product introductions, Only-the-Best placements, and continued expansion in the e-commerce channel and international markets. Revenue for each of the Strategic Initiatives is expected to be above 2018. Operating profit for 2019 is expected to increase moderately compared to 2018. HBB expects cash flow before financing activities to increase significantly in 2019 compared to 2018, with a goal to exceed $20 million as the company works to return to pre-2018 levels. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $4.5 million in 2019.

KC: KC's business is seasonal and a majority of its revenue and operating profit is earned in the second half of the year when sales of kitchenware to consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday-selling season. For 2019, KC expects its revenue to decrease compared to 2018 as a result of store closures and lower comparable store sales. KC expects its operating loss and use of cash before financing activities in 2019 to improve compared to 2018. Capital expenditures in 2019 are expected to be approximately $0.3 million. KC is working aggressively to significantly improve performance in 2019 and 2020.

Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company: Based on the outlooks for the HBB and KC segments, the Company expects 2019 net income to increase and cash flow before financing activities to increase significantly over 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company's subsidiaries, HBB and KC, have entered 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 the subsidiaries 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 a net receivable of $0.1 million at June 30, 2019. A hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates would result in a payable with a fair value of $0.1 million. Additionally, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would not have a material impact to the Company's interest expense of $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

23

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 U.S. dollar against other currencies affects the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. The potential impact of currency fluctuation increases as international expansion increases.

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 U.S. 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 June 30, 2019. Assuming a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar at June 30, 2019, the fair value of foreign currency-sensitive financial instruments, which represents forward foreign currency exchange contracts, would be decreased by $1.9 million compared with its fair value at June 30, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures:  An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting: During the three months ended June 30, 2019, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Hamilton Beach Holding” or the “Company”). The Company manages its subsidiaries primarily by reportable segment, which are Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (“HBB”) and The Kitchen Collection, LLC ("KC"). The Company includes the required intercompany eliminations between its reportable segments. Costs incurred as a stand-alone public entity are allocated to the HBB segment. The only material assets held by Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company are its investments in consolidated subsidiaries. Substantially all of its cash flows are provided by dividends paid or distributions made by its subsidiaries.

HBB is a leading designer, marketer and distributor of branded, small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels. KC is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware primarily in outlet malls throughout the United States ("U.S.").  

Prior period interest income amounts have been reclassified from other (income) expense, net to interest expense, net and prior period non-trade customer receivable amounts have been reclassified from trade receivables, net to prepaid expenses and other current assets to conform to the current period presentation.

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the statements of operations, comprehensive loss, and changes in equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 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, 2018.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year due to the highly seasonal nature of our primary markets. A majority of revenue and operating profit occurs in the second half of the calendar year when sales of our products to retailers and consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday-selling season.

These quarterly financial statements reflect the significant accounting policies that are described in Note 2 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The following new accounting policy is reflected in these quarterly financial statements as a result of the share repurchases made during the second quarter of 2019:

Treasury Stock

The Company records the aggregate purchase price of treasury stock at cost and includes treasury stock as a reduction to equity.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Adopted

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)," which amends the requirements in U.S. GAAP related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity's sponsored defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019. The change in presentation of the components of net periodic pension cost was applied retrospectively which resulted in $0.2 million and $0.4 million of net periodic pension income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, being reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to other (income) expense, net.

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.

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 effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is planning to adopt ASU 2016-02 for its year ending December 31, 2020 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.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-03, “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, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is planning to adopt ASU 2016-03 for its year ending December 31, 2021 and is currently evaluating to what extent ASU 2016-03 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue [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. A description of the performance obligations for each segment is as follows:

Hamilton Beach Brands

• Product revenue - Product revenue consist of sales of small electric household and specialty housewares appliances to traditional brick and mortar and e-commerce retailers, distributors and directly to the end consumer as well as sales of commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels. Transactions with these 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 generally 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 consideration received and revenue recognized varies with changes in incentives, returns and consideration paid to customers for advertising arrangements.

• License revenues - 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, tradenames, patents, trade dress, and/or logos (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 satisfying the performance obligation (over time).

Kitchen Collection

• Product revenue - KC sells a variety of kitchenware products from a number of highly recognizable name brands to individual consumers. Products are sold through brick and mortar retail stores whereby customers come into KC stores, explore the assortment of merchandise available for sale, select various products that they desire to purchase, bring those products to the sales register and pay the cashier the agreed-upon price using either cash, check or credit card. Once the sale is complete, a receipt is generated and provided to the customer as proof of purchase. Therefore, the sales process is both originated and completed simultaneously at the point of sale. Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, which occurs when the products are scanned at the sales register. The amount of consideration received and revenue recognized varies with changes in returns.

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.

The following table presents the Company's revenue on a disaggregated basis for the three and six months ending:

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.

During the periods ended June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, there were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Contingencies

Contingencies

Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against Hamilton Beach Holding and certain subsidiaries relating to the conduct of their businesses, including product liability, patent infringement, asbestos related claims, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business of the Company. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. 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.

These matters 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 of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.

HBB is a defendant in a legal proceeding in which the plaintiff alleges that certain HBB products infringe the plaintiff’s patents. On May 3, 2019, the jury returned its verdict finding that the Company had infringed certain patents of the plaintiff and, as a result, awarded the plaintiff damages in the amount of $3.2 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded $3.2 million expense in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2019 for the contingent loss. The Company believes that its products do not infringe on the plaintiff’s patents and is evaluating post-trial motions and appeal of any adverse judgment.

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 June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018, and June 30, 2018, HBB had accrued undiscounted obligations of $4.6 million, $8.2 million, and $8.5 million respectively, for environmental investigation and remediation activities. The reduction in the amount accrued at June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 is the result of a change in the expected type and extent of investigation and remediation activities associated with one of the sites, due to additional testing and assessment performed with respect to that site. In addition, HBB estimates that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional expenses in the range of zero to $3.9 million related to the environmental investigation and remediation at these sites.

Transfer of Financial Assets

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]

Transfer of Financial Assets

The Company has entered into an arrangement with a financial institution to sell certain U.S. 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$33.4 million and $67.9 million of trade receivables during the three and six months endingJune 30, 2019, respectively, $38.8 million and $70.2 million of trade receivables during the three and six months ending June 30, 2018, respectively, and $165.4 million during the year ending December 31, 2018. The loss incurred on sold receivables in the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Hamilton Beach Holding” or the “Company”). The Company manages its subsidiaries primarily by reportable segment, which are Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (“HBB”) and The Kitchen Collection, LLC ("KC"). The Company includes the required intercompany eliminations between its reportable segments. Costs incurred as a stand-alone public entity are allocated to the HBB segment. The only material assets held by Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company are its investments in consolidated subsidiaries. Substantially all of its cash flows are provided by dividends paid or distributions made by its subsidiaries.

HBB is a leading designer, marketer and distributor of branded, small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels. KC is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware primarily in outlet malls throughout the United States ("U.S.").  

Prior period interest income amounts have been reclassified from other (income) expense, net to interest expense, net and prior period non-trade customer receivable amounts have been reclassified from trade receivables, net to prepaid expenses and other current assets to conform to the current period presentation.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the statements of operations, comprehensive loss, and changes in equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 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, 2018.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year due to the highly seasonal nature of our primary markets. A majority of revenue and operating profit occurs in the second half of the calendar year when sales of our products to retailers and consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday-selling season.

Accounting Standards Adopted and Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Standards Adopted

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)," which amends the requirements in U.S. GAAP related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity's sponsored defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019. The change in presentation of the components of net periodic pension cost was applied retrospectively which resulted in $0.2 million and $0.4 million of net periodic pension income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, being reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to other (income) expense, net.

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.

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 effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is planning to adopt ASU 2016-02 for its year ending December 31, 2020 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.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-03, “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, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is planning to adopt ASU 2016-03 for its year ending December 31, 2021 and is currently evaluating to what extent ASU 2016-03 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
