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 Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements, references to “Hamilton Beach Holding”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” and similar references are to Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis unless otherwise noted or as the context otherwise requires. Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company is a holding company and operates through its indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HBB”). HBB is the Company’s single reportable segment. We are 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, and are a provider of connected devices and software for healthcare management. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. 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, 2023. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 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 In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements on an annual and interim basis. The amendments are effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2024, and the interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. Updates should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Adoption of this ASU may result in additional disclosure, but it will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which enhances income tax disclosure requirements primarily involving more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively but retrospective application is permitted. Adoption of this ASU may result in additional disclosure, but it will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. U.S. Pension Plan Termination During 2022, the Board approved the termination of our U.S. defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) with an effective date of September 30, 2022. The termination process is still ongoing and is expected to be completed in 2024. Benefit obligations under the Plan will be settled through a combination of lump sum payments to eligible plan participants and the purchase of a group annuity contract, under which future benefit obligations will be transferred to a third-party insurance company. The Company currently expects that all surplus assets remaining after the Plan termination will be transferred to a qualified replacement plan. The surplus assets as of December 31, 2023 were $12.2 million. The deferred loss of $6.6 million as of March 31, 2024 within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income will be recognized fully when the plan is terminated or as settlements occur, which would trigger accelerated recognition. Accounts payable - Supplier Finance Program The Company has an agreement with a third-party administrator to provide an accounts payable tracking system which facilitates a participating supplier’s ability to monitor and voluntarily elect to sell payment obligations owed by the Company to the designated third-party financial institution. Participating suppliers can sell one or more of the Company’s payment obligations at their sole discretion. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell one or more of its payment obligations. The Company’s rights and obligations with respect to such payment obligations, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these arrangements. The agreement has a limit of $60.0 million in payment obligations ($85.0 million during peak season from August to January). There is no requirement to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees under the agreement. The Company pays the third-party administrator based upon the original payment terms negotiated with participating suppliers. The payment of these obligations by the Company is included in cash used in operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company has $54.8 million, $55.0 million and $30.4 million, respectively, in outstanding payment obligations that are presented in Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of these totals, the third-party financial institution has made payments to participating suppliers to settle $46.1 million, $48.9 million and $30.3 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations.
