Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Weber Inc. were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) for interim reporting. In management’s opinion, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of financial position, operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. Weber HoldCo LLC is considered a variable interest entity. Weber Inc. is the primary beneficiary of Weber HoldCo LLC and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of this entity. As a result, Weber Inc. consolidates the financial statements of Weber HoldCo LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interests reflect the entitlement of the owners of Weber-Stephen Products LLC’s outstanding equity interests prior to the IPO (“Pre-IPO LLC Members”) to a portion of Weber HoldCo LLC’s net (loss) income.
As the Reorganization Transactions are considered transactions between entities under common control, the condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the IPO and the Reorganization Transactions have been adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes. Prior to the Reorganization Transactions, Weber Inc. had no operations.
Fiscal Year Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year runs from October 1 through September 30. All references to years are to fiscal years unless otherwise stated.
Use of Estimates Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The effect of the change in the estimates will be recognized in the current period of the change.
Seasonality
Seasonality
Although the Company generally has demand for its products throughout the year, the Company’s sales have historically experienced some seasonality. The Company has typically experienced its highest level of sales of its products
in the second and third fiscal quarters as retailers across North America and Europe changeover their floor sets, build inventory and fulfill consumer demand for outdoor cooking products. Sales are typically lower during the first and fourth fiscal quarters, with the exception of the Australia/New Zealand business which is counter seasonal to the balance of the business.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable
Sales of Accounts Receivable
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain trade accounts receivable to a third-party financial institution (“Receivables Purchase Agreement”). The Receivables Purchase Agreement results in the transfer of the trade accounts receivable and associated risks to the third party and provides the third party with the full benefits and burdens of ownership in exchange for cash proceeds to the Company. The trade accounts receivable transferred are accounted for as sales of receivables as they have satisfied the required criteria under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860, Transfers and Servicing, and are de-recognized from the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The maximum receivables that may be sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement at any time is $235.0 million.
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses Allowance for Expected Credit LossesThe Company estimates its expected credit losses based on historical experience, the aging of accounts receivable, consideration of current economic conditions and its expectations of future economic conditions.
New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted and Not Yet Adopted
New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In March 2020, the the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This ASU is effective for all entities beginning as of its date of effectiveness, March 12, 2020. The guidance is temporary and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The guidance has not impacted the condensed consolidated financial statements to date. The Company will continue to monitor the impact of the ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements in the future.
New Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted No recent accounting pronouncements were issued by the FASB that are believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s future financial statements.
