SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made statements in the sections titled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our future results could be affected by a variety of other factors, including risks relating to any unforeseen changes to or effects on liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future prospects; the ability to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies from business acquisitions in the amounts and at the times expected; the impact of competitive conditions; the effectiveness of pricing, advertising, and promotional programs; the success of innovation, renovation and new product introductions; the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles; the success of productivity improvements and business transitions; commodity and energy prices, transportation costs, labor costs, disruptions or inefficiencies in supply chain; the availability of and interest rates on short-term and long-term financing; the levels of spending on systems initiatives, properties, business opportunities, integration of acquired businesses, and other general and administrative costs; changes in consumer behavior and preferences; the effect of U.S. and foreign economic conditions on items such as interest rates, statutory tax rates, currency conversion and availability; legal and regulatory factors including the impact of any product recalls; the uncertainty of the magnitude, duration, geographic reach, impact on the global economy and potential travel restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact on our business, growth, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results (including components of our financial results), and cash flows and liquidity; and business disruption or other losses from war, pandemic, terrorist acts or political unrest.

The risk factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There also may be other risks that are currently unknown to us or that we are unable to predict at this time.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. General

Description of Business

Weber Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Weber,” the “Company,” “we” and “our”) is an outdoor cooking company in the global outdoor cooking market. Our product portfolio includes traditional charcoal grills, gas grills, smokers, pellet grills, electric grills and related accessories. Our full range of products is sold in 78 countries.

We are headquartered in Palatine, Illinois, and our stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “WEBR.”

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On December 11, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ribeye Parent, LLC (“Parent”) and Ribeye Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of BDT Capital Partners LLC. BDT Capital Partners LLC will acquire all of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock (other than (i) shares of Class A common stock held by BDT Capital Partners

I-A Holdings, LLC and BDT WSP Holdings, LLC, (ii) any shares of common stock canceled pursuant to the Merger

Agreement and (iii) any dissenting shares of Class A common stock) for $8.05 per share in cash.

The Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions. Subject to the satisfaction (or if applicable, waiver) of such conditions, the Merger is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2023.

Consolidation and 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 December 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, 2022.

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. 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.

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

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the 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

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 change over 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

Receivables Purchase Agreement

In March 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 had satisfied the required criteria under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860, Transfers and Servicing, and were de-recognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The maximum receivables that may be sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement at any time is $235.0 million. There were no trade accounts receivable sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 as the third party under the Receivables Purchase Agreement had previously informed the Company that, as permitted by the terms of the agreement, it would not be purchasing trade accounts receivable for an unspecified period of time. There can be no assurance that the third party will begin purchasing trade accounts receivable in the near term, or at all.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from its normal business activities, offset by an allowance for expected credit losses. The 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. Additionally, the Company establishes customer-specific allowances for known at-risk accounts. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. Accounts receivable are written off when it is determined that the receivable will not be collected.

The 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. The allowance for expected credit losses was $3.5 million and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

4. Restructuring Costs

The Company's Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 as part of a cost-saving plan to preserve liquidity, expand gross margins and reduce selling, general and administrative costs. The restructuring plan included the termination of certain senior executives, a workforce reduction of non-manufacturing and distribution headcount, the termination of certain contracts and the disposal of certain other assets. The Company expects to substantially complete the restructuring plan by the end of fiscal year 2023.

Secured Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility arrangement with an initial term loan of $1,250.0 million (“Term Loan”), an Incremental Term Loan of $250.0 million (“Incremental Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Loan”) with a maximum commitment of $300.0 million, which can be restricted to a lower borrowing level based on the result of a financial covenant testing condition, as defined in the Secured Credit Facility loan agreement (collectively, the “Secured Credit Facility”). As of December 31, 2022, the Revolving Loan had borrowings outstanding of $278.0 million and letters of credit issued of $9.2 million, leaving $12.8 million of available borrowing capacity.

On December 27, 2022, the Company amended the Secured Credit Facility loan agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the leverage ratio covenant was waived for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023. In connection with this amendment, the Company paid financing costs totaling $0.8 million, which were recorded as deferred financing costs and are amortized over the duration of the covenant waiver.

Unsecured 12% Term Loan

On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement with BDT Capital Partners Fund I, L.P. and BDT Capital Partners Fund I-A, L.P. The loan agreement provides for an unsecured term loan in an initial aggregate principal amount of $61.2 million (the “Unsecured 12% Term Loan”) and additional unsecured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million. On December 11, 2022, the loan agreement was amended to extend the maturity of the Unsecured 12% Term Loan, as well as any additional unsecured term loans entered into under the loan agreement, from January 29, 2026 to January 29, 2028.

The Unsecured 12% Term Loan, as well as any additional unsecured term loans entered into under the loan agreement, bears interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 12.0%, payable in kind or in cash, at the election of the Company, on a quarterly basis (and, in the absence of such election, interest will be paid in kind). An upfront fee of 2.0% of the principal amount was paid in kind upon funding of the Unsecured 12% Term Loan. In connection with the Unsecured 12% Term Loan, the Company paid financing costs totaling $1.7 million, which were recorded as deferred financing costs within Long-term debt — related party in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the life of the Unsecured 12% Term Loan.

Principal under the Unsecured 12% Term Loan, as well as any additional unsecured term loans entered into under the loan agreement, is due on the maturity date of January 29, 2028, along with any fees and interest paid in kind. As of December 31, 2022, the Unsecured 12% Term Loan balance also reflects the upfront fee of $1.2 million that was paid in kind.

The Unsecured 12% Term Loan contains no negative covenants and no financial maintenance covenant and is considered a related party transaction.

Unsecured 15% Credit Facility

On December 11, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Ribeye Parent, LLC, which provides for an unsecured delayed draw term loan of $120.0 million (the “Unsecured 15% Term Loan”) and an unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial aggregate commitment of $230.0 million (the “Unsecured Revolving Loan”) (collectively, the “Unsecured 15% Credit Facility”). The Unsecured 15% Term Loan and Unsecured Revolving Loan may be drawn down subject to customary closing conditions no later than December 31, 2023. Borrowings under the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility mature on December 31, 2023.

Borrowings under the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility bear interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 15.0%, payable in kind or in cash, at the election of the Company, on a quarterly basis (and, in the absence of such election, interest will be paid in kind). An upfront fee of 2.0% of the aggregate revolving credit facility commitments was paid in kind on the closing date of the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility and an upfront fee of 2.0% of the principal amount will be payable in kind or in cash upon funding of the Unsecured 15% Term Loan. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum or average daily unused commitments under the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility is payable in kind or in cash on a quarterly basis. In connection with the Unsecured Revolving Loan, the Company paid financing costs totaling $4.7 million, which were recorded as deferred financing costs within Other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the life of the Unsecured Revolving Loan.

As of December 31, 2022, the Unsecured Revolving Loan had borrowings outstanding related to the upfront fee of $4.6 million that was paid in kind. The upfront fee did not reduce the available borrowing capacity of the Unsecured

14

Revolving Loan, leaving available borrowing capacity of $230.0 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company did not draw on the Unsecured 15% Term Loan as of December 31, 2022.

The Unsecured 15% Credit Facility contains no negative covenants and no financial maintenance covenant and is considered a related party transaction.

Covenants

The Secured Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants relating to, among other things, limitations on indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, sales of assets, acquisitions and members’ distributions. In addition, above a certain borrowing level, there is a financial covenant relating to the Company’s average leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2022, the leverage ratio covenant was waived and the Company was in compliance with all other covenants in the Secured Credit Facility.

The Unsecured 12% Term Loan and Unsecured 15% Credit Facility contain no negative covenants and no financial maintenance covenant.

6. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating variable interest rates under the Secured Credit Facility on Interest expense, net within its reported operating results. As cash flow hedges, the interest rate swaps are revalued at current market rates, with the changes in valuation reflected directly in Other comprehensive (loss) income, to the extent that the hedge is effective. The gains or losses on the interest rate swaps reported in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in equity are reclassified into Interest expense, net in the periods in which the monthly interest settlement is paid on the interest rate swap.

The notional values of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap contracts were as follows:

	December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022
	(dollars in thousands)
Interest rate swap contracts	$	1,220,000	$	1,220,000

On October 30, 2020, the Company completed a series of transactions to amend and extend certain interest rate swap agreements by an additional three years. These interest rate swap transactions consisted of the following: (i) $360.0 million of the interest rate swaps were de-designated as cash flow hedges, (ii) the Company entered into a $360.0 million pay-variable receive-fixed interest rate swap which was designed to economically offset the terms of the $360.0 million of swaps in (i) and which are not designated as cash flow hedges, and (iii) the Company entered into a $500.0 million new pay-fixed interest rate swap with an extended maturity. The new pay-fixed interest rate swap is considered a hybrid instrument with a financing component and an embedded at-market derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge (see discussion of cash flow presentation below).

At the time of the de-designation of the above $360.0 million in interest rate swaps, there was approximately $38.2 million of unrealized losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. This amount is amortized to interest expense through the remaining term of the original de-designated swaps unless it becomes probable that the cash flows originally hedged will not occur, in which case the proportionate amount of the loss will be recorded to interest expense at that time. The $360.0 million of interest rate swaps de-designated as cash flows hedges and the $360.0 million of offsetting swaps will be marked to market with changes in fair value recognized, along with the fixed and variable payments on these swaps, in interest expense which are expected to nearly offset each other. The Company presents the derivatives on a gross basis on the balance sheet.

The $500.0 million pay-fixed interest rate swap is a hybrid instrument in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, consisting of a financing component and an embedded at-market derivative. The financing component is accounted for at amortized cost over the life of the swap while the embedded at-market derivative is accounted for at fair value on the balance sheet and designated as a cash flow hedge. This $500.0 million swap is indexed to one-month LIBOR and is net settled on a monthly basis with the counterparty for the difference between the fixed rate of 2.2025% and the variable rate based upon one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) as applied to the notional amount of the swap. In connection with the transactions discussed above, no cash was exchanged between the Company and the counterparty. The

15

liability of the terminated interest rate swaps as well as the inception value of the receive-fixed interest rate swap was blended into the new pay-fixed interest rate swap. Cash settlements related to interest rate contracts will generally be classified as operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The cash flows related to the portion of the hybrid instrument treated as debt are classified as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows while the portion treated as an at-market derivative is classified as operating activities.

See Note 10 for further information.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating variable foreign currency denominated cash flows impacting Gross profit within its reported operating results. When entered, these financial instruments are designated as cash flow hedges of underlying exposures and de-designated when the foreign currency denominated sale of inventory is made to a third party. As cash flow hedges, the forward contracts are revalued at current foreign exchange rates with the changes in the valuation reflected directly in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, to the extent that the hedge is effective. The gains or losses on the forward contracts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in equity (deficit) are reclassified into Cost of goods sold in the period or periods in which the foreign currency denominated sale of inventory is made to a third party and the contracts are de-designated. The gains or losses from changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts de-designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in Foreign currency (gain) loss. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts that economically hedge its risk on foreign currency denominated receivables. The gains or losses from changes in fair value on these contracts are recorded in Foreign currency (gain) loss. Cash settlements related to forward currency forward contracts are classified as operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

There were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts as of December 31, 2022 or September 30, 2022.

Cash Flow Hedges Impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the (loss) gain recognized in Other comprehensive (loss) income was:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2022		2021

	2022		2021
	(dollars in thousands)
Interest rate swap contracts	$	(1,487)	$	2,673

For derivatives de-designated as cash flow hedges and economic hedges on foreign currency denominated receivables, the (gain) loss recognized directly into Foreign currency (gain) loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2022		2021
	(dollars in thousands)
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	—	$	(320)

As of December 31, 2022, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $9.7 million of gains associated with the above contracts in net (loss) income within the next 12 months.

16

Commodity Index Contracts

The Company used commodity index contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in cash flows relating to the purchases of aluminum and steel-based components and raw materials impacting Gross profit. The commodity index contracts were accounted for as financial instruments and the Company did not apply hedge accounting. There were no outstanding commodity index contracts as of December 31, 2022.

The notional values of the Company’s outstanding commodity index contracts were as follows:

	December 31, 2022	September 30, 2022
	(volumes in pounds)
Steel index contracts	—	600,000

As financial instruments, the commodity index hedges were revalued at current commodity index rates with the changes in the valuation reflected directly in Cost of goods sold. The Company recorded a corresponding loss (gain) on the change in fair market value as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2022		2021
	(dollars in thousands)
Commodity index contracts	$	—	$	221

See Note 10 for further information.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Using derivative instruments means assuming counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk relates to the loss the Company could incur if a counterparty were to default on a derivative contract. The Company deals with only investment-grade counterparties and monitors the overall credit risk and exposure to individual counterparties. The Company did not experience any nonperformance by a counterparty during the three months ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. The Company did not require, nor did it post, collateral or security on such contracts.

7. Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate at the end of each interim period, and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjusts the rate as necessary. The Company recorded income tax expense of $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily related to the tax expense incurred in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, which resulted in an effective tax rate of (4.7)%, as compared to the federal statutory rate of 21.0%. The difference in the effective tax rate was due to foreign taxes owed by foreign subsidiaries, previously established valuation allowances on U.S. and certain foreign pre-tax losses and changes in existing uncertain tax positions.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $30.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.0%, as compared to the federal statutory rate of 21.0%. The effective tax rate was higher than the statutory rate due to foreign taxes owed by foreign subsidiaries, uncertain tax positions and increases on certain previously established valuation allowances. These unfavorable expenses were partially offset by a noncontrolling interest benefit to adjust for Weber Inc.'s allocable share of Weber HoldCo LLC's net loss for the quarter.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Warranty

The Company offers warranties on most of its products. The specific terms and conditions of the warranties offered by the Company vary depending upon the product sold. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty plans and the period for which claims are honored, and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, the type of products sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

17

The following is an analysis of product warranty reserves and charges against those reserves (dollars in thousands):

Balance at September 30, 2022	$	28,743
Accrual for warranties issued	635
Warranty settlements made	(893)
Balance at December 31, 2022	$	28,485

The balance of warranty reserves recorded in Other long-term liabilities was $23.2 million as of both December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022. The remaining current balances of $5.3 million and $5.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, were recorded in Accrued expenses.

Contingent Consideration

As part of the acquisition of all aspects of the business related to iGrill and Kitchen Thermometer products from iDevices, LLC (“iDevices”), the Company has future cash payments due to iDevices in conjunction with an earn-out and development agreement. Under this agreement, the Company paid iDevices a minimum of $8.0 million, and then must pay additional royalty payments at fixed rates on iGrill and Kitchen Thermometer products sold for a total of 10 years or up to $15.0 million, whichever comes first. Under the terms of the earn-out and development agreement, the Company paid $0.1 million during both the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $0.6 million at both December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022. The fair value of these estimated future cash payments was based on valuation methods and management’s best estimates and was recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to a variety of investigations, claims, suits and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business including, but not limited to, intellectual property, employment, tort and breach of contract matters, as well as securities litigation. The Company currently believes that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, cash flows, financial position or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and management’s view of these matters and their potential effects may change in the future.

9. Related Parties

Periodically, the Company engages in transactions with related parties, which include entities that are owned in whole or in part by certain owners or employees of the Company.

The Company leases office facilities in Australia from a related party. Rental expense amounted to $0.2 million for the both three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company had related party operating right-of-use assets of $1.0 million and $1.1 million at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the Company had related party current operating lease liabilities of $0.4 million at both December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 and non-current operating lease liabilities of $0.7 million and $1.1 million at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

The Company has a royalty agreement with a related party for the use of the Company’s trademark. Royalty revenue from this agreement was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company had a royalty receivable of $0.1 million from this related party at both December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022.

As described in Note 5, in November 2022 the Company entered into the Unsecured 12% Term Loan and in December 2022 the Company entered into the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility, which were both related party transactions. In connection with these related party loans, the Company incurred financing costs of $5.8 million, which were paid in kind to the related parties. In addition, the Company incurred interest of $1.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2022, which was paid in kind to the related parties.

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

With respect to financial assets and liabilities, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

•Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The Company had interest rate swap contracts held with financial institutions as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, classified as Level 2 financial instruments, which are valued using observable underlying interest rates and market-determined risk premiums at the reporting date.

The Company had commodity index contracts held with financial institutions as of September 30, 2022, classified as Level 2 financial instruments, which are valued using observable commodity index rates at the reporting date.

The Company had a contingent consideration liability as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, classified as a Level 3 instrument, in conjunction with its acquisition of all aspects of the business related to iGrill and Kitchen Thermometer products from iDevices. The fair value of these estimated future cash payments was determined based on valuation methods and estimates of future cash flows. See Note 8 for further details.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis was as follows:

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for the variable rate, revolving loan facility also approximate its fair value. The fair value of the fixed rate debt is not readily determinable, because the information is not available.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

The Weber Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) provides for the issuance of up to 22,694,608 shares of Class A common stock in connection with equity awards granted under the 2021 Plan. The Company has three types of share-based compensation awards outstanding under the 2021 Plan: profits interest awards, options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

Profits Interest Awards

Prior to the Company's IPO, the Company granted profits interest units with vesting periods ranging from one to five years to certain key employees in consideration for their services to or for the benefit of the Company. A portion of the profits interest units vest based on service and a portion of the awards based on service as well as the Company’s achievement of certain performance objectives associated with net sales (“hybrid units”).

The profits interest units have distribution thresholds determined on a per common unit in Weber HoldCo LLC (“LLC unit”) basis with the holder receiving, upon exercise, a value in LLC units equal to the difference between the current fair value per LLC unit less the distribution threshold. Therefore, the distribution thresholds serve as a cashless exercise price, with holders receiving their share of the value of the Company’s implied equity value in excess of the distribution threshold. Once vested, the profits interests represent profits interest ownership in the Company tied solely to the accretion, if any, in the value of the Company in excess of the distribution threshold.

During fiscal year 2022, Weber Inc. paid dividends to holders of Class A common stock. Profits interest units that were outstanding at the time of the dividends were adjusted pursuant to pre-existing anti-dilution provisions in the Company’s equity incentive plan documents. The adjustments reduced the distribution thresholds of outstanding profits interest units by the amount of the dividend per share. The adjustments did not result in incremental stock-based compensation expense as the anti-dilutive adjustments were required by pre-existing terms included within the awards. There were no changes to the profits interest units distribution thresholds during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

20

The following table summarizes the Company’s profits interest award activity during the three months ended December 31, 2022:

	Service-Based Units					Hybrid Units
	Units	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Fair Value		Units	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Fair Value
Nonvested units, September 30, 2022	2,736,414	$	8.64	$	7.19	1,185,180	$	9.50	$	8.09
Performance adjustments(1)	—	$	—	$	—	(266,665)	$	9.50	$	7.95
Nonvested units, December 31, 2022	2,736,414	$	8.64	$	7.19	918,515	$	9.50	$	8.91

_____________

(1)The hybrid awards vest based on achievement of a performance target. For the awards that will vest during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, 55% of the awards met the performance target resulting in a 45% reduction in the number of units that will vest.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, there were no profits interest unit awards granted or vested. As of December 31, 2022, there were 9,701,516 vested profits interest service-based units and 491,849 vested profits interest hybrid units. As of December 31, 2022, there was $4.5 million and $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested profits interest service-based units and hybrid units, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.5 years for service-based units and 0.1 years for hybrid units.

Options

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, zero options were granted and 168,115 options vested.

RSUs

During the three months ended December 31, 2022 the Company granted RSUs to certain employees of the Company. The RSUs vest over a period ranging from one year to three years. The RSUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying shares of Class A common stock as the Company declares dividends. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of RSUs in cash upon the vesting date of the associated RSU and will be forfeited if the RSU does not vest. RSUs that were converted from equity awards outstanding prior to the Company’s IPO do not accrue dividends until they are fully vested. The fair value of the RSU awards was calculated utilizing the closing day stock price on the date of grant. Upon vesting of the award, the Company will issue shares of Class A common stock to the award holder. At the time of issuance, the Company will typically withhold the number of shares to satisfy the statutory withholding tax obligation and deliver the net number of resulting shares vested to award holder.

The following tables summarize the Company’s RSUs and activity during the three months ended December 31, 2022:

	Total RSUs
	Number of RSUs	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested, September 30, 2022	3,156,752	$	17.06
Granted	4,756,698	$	6.82
Vested	(1,286,906)	$	17.73

Units settled(1)	(886,770)	$	17.58
Vested- Not settled, December 31, 2022	1,314,995	$	16.73

_____________

(1)For RSUs granted after the Company's IPO, the settlement of awards occurs on the vesting date. For RSUs that were converted from Pre-IPO Management Incentive Compensation Plan awards, the post vesting settlement of awards can occur up to ten years after the vesting date.

As of December 31, 2022, there was $41.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In December 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the termination of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which was effective immediately. There were no shares purchased under the ESPP during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Summary of Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The table below summarizes stock-based compensation expense recognized by award type:

_____________

(1)In addition to the stock-based compensation expense recognized for the awards listed above, zero and $1.1 million of expense was recognized related to partial recourse member notes for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

12. Segments

The Company has three operating segments, Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”). The Company’s reportable segments consist of Americas, EMEA and APAC. Corporate/Other is not an operating segment and includes unallocated corporate and certain supply chain expenses and assets (consisting primarily of cash, land, buildings and equipment, certain intangible assets (trademark) and deferred tax assets), inter-segment eliminations and other adjustments to segment results necessary for the presentation of consolidated financial results in accordance with GAAP. Internal revenue transactions between the Company’s segments are immaterial. Each operating segment derives its revenues from the provision of gas, charcoal, electric and pellet grills and related accessories to customers.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about the

22

Company’s revenue and profitability, for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. The CODM receives discrete financial information by segment.

The CODM reviews adjusted loss from operations as the key segment measure of performance. Adjusted loss from operations is defined as loss from operations adjusted for unallocated net expenses, stock-based compensation and restructuring costs. Adjusted loss from operations excludes interest expense, net, and income taxes.

The information below summarizes key financial performance measures by reportable segment:

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2022
	Americas		EMEA		APAC		Corporate/Other		Total
	(dollars in thousands)

_____________

(1)Inventory is the only segment asset reviewed by the CODM.

(2)“All other” consists of assets that are not reviewed by the CODM at a segment level: cash and cash equivalents; accounts receivable; prepaid and other tax assets; prepaid expenses and other current assets; property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net; operating lease right-of-use assets; other long-term assets; trademarks, net; other intangible assets, net; and goodwill.

13. Noncontrolling Interests

The noncontrolling interests balance represents the economic interests in Weber HoldCo LLC held by the Pre-IPO LLC Members. The following table summarizes the ownership of LLC Units in Weber HoldCo LLC as of December 31, 2022:

	LLC Units	Ownership Percentage
LLC Units held by Weber Inc.	53,738,392	19	%
Units held by Pre-IPO LLC Members	234,476,377	81	%
Balance at end of period	288,214,769	100	%

The noncontrolling interest holders have the right to exchange an LLC unit along with a share of Class B common stock ("Paired Interests") for Class A common stock. As such, future exchanges of Paired Interests by noncontrolling interest holders will result in a change in ownership and decrease or increase the amount recorded as noncontrolling interests and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital when Weber HoldCo LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, pre-IPO LLC members exchanged 30,259 Paired Interests for Class A common stock.

14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Weber Inc. by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding during the period includes both the weighted average of Class A common stock outstanding as well as the weighted average of vested RSUs outstanding during the period. Shares of Class B common stock do not share in earnings and are not participating securities. Accordingly, separate presentation of earnings (loss) per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by giving effect to the potentially dilutive weighted average impact of profits interest awards, options, RSUs and HoldCo

24

LLC Units that are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock when paired with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock is as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2022		2021
	(in thousands, except shares and per share data)
Numerator - basic:
Net loss	$	(113,891)	$	(74,553)
Less: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests	(86,701)		(91,330)
Net loss (income) attributable to Weber Inc. - basic	$	(27,190)	$	16,777
Numerator - diluted:
Net loss (income) attributable to Weber Inc. - basic	$	(27,190)	$	16,777
Net loss effect of dilutive securities:
Add: Net loss attributable to dilutive impact of Paired Interests(1)	—		(71,380)
Net loss attributable to Weber Inc. - diluted	$	(27,190)	$	(54,603)
Denominator - basic:
Weighted average of Class A common stock outstanding - basic	54,604,105		53,309,932
Denominator - diluted:
Weighted average of Class A common stock outstanding - basic	54,604,105		53,309,932
Weighted average effect of dilutive securities:
Add: Class A common stock assumed exchange for Paired Interests(2)	—		234,645,219
Weighted average Class A common stock outstanding - diluted	54,604,105		287,955,151
Earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock - basic	$	(0.50)	$	0.31
Earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock - diluted	$	(0.50)	$	(0.19)

_____________

(1)This adjustment assumes after-tax elimination of noncontrolling interests due to the assumed exchange of all Paired Interests for shares of Class A common stock in Weber Inc. as of the beginning of the period following the if-converted method for calculating diluted net loss per share.

(2)The diluted weighted average shares outstanding of Class A common stock includes the effects of the if-converted method to reflect the assumed exchange of all Paired Interests on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock in Weber Inc.

The following number of weighted average potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effect of including such potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2022	2021
Paired Interests	234,492,493	—
Profits interest awards	2,546,091	5,053,269

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” should be read for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Our fiscal year end is September 30, and our fiscal quarters end on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30.

Our Company

Weber Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Weber,” the “Company,” “we” and “our”) is the leading outdoor cooking company in the global outdoor cooking market. Our founder George Stephen, Sr., established the outdoor cooking category when he invented the original charcoal grill 70 years ago. In the decades since, we have built a loyal and global following of both grilling enthusiasts and barbecue professionals in backyards all around the world. Our product portfolio includes traditional charcoal grills, gas grills, smokers, pellet and electric grills and recently our Weber Connect™ technology-enabled grills. Our full range of products is sold in 78 countries through an omni-channel network that consists of wholesale, direct-to-consumer and e-commerce.

We operate in the global outdoor cooking market, which is comprised of outdoor products that include gas grills, charcoal grills, wood pellet grills, electric grills, smokers, grilling accessories and solid fuel products (including charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, pellets, and wood chips and chunks). Our mission at Weber is to lead the outdoor cooking industry by innovating breakthrough new products and services that enhance our global consumers’ grilling experiences. Our purpose is to ignite inspiration and discovery through everything we do, at every touchpoint with our consumers. Grilling is about making delicious food, bringing people together and creating memories.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Economic Conditions

Demand for our products is significantly affected by a number of economic factors impacting our customers and consumers, such as the availability of credit, consumer confidence and spending, demographic trends, employment levels and other macroeconomic factors (e.g., lockdowns, government mandates, etc.) that may influence the extent to which consumers invest in household products such as grills, and associated accessories, consumables and services. In recent months, there has been a slowdown in retail traffic, both in-store and online, which the Company believes is due to rising inflation, supply chain constraints, higher fuel prices and geopolitical uncertainty. These market factors are expected to continue and therefore continue to have a material adverse impact on our results of operation.

The Company continues to monitor developments in Russia and Ukraine as well as financial and economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries. In March 2022, the Company suspended operations in Russia, including cessations of imports into Russia, sales to retailers in Russia and e-commerce activity in Russia. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company commenced activities to liquidate its on-hand inventory. While the conflict has negatively impacted our results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company's net sales and total assets in Russia represented less than 1% of our total consolidated net sales and total assets.

Impact of Inflation

Changing costs of inbound freight, materials, components, equipment, labor and other inputs used to manufacture and sell our products and logistics costs, in particular, have impacted and may in the future impact operating costs and, accordingly, may affect the prices of our products. We are involved in continuing programs to mitigate the impact of cost increases through identification of sourcing and manufacturing efficiencies where possible. However, we may not be able to fully mitigate or pass through the increases in our operating costs, and rising prices could also affect demand for our products. Additionally, rising inflation has negatively impacted retail traffic and may continue to do so in the future.

26

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates

We conduct business in various locations throughout the world and are subject to market risk due to changes in value of foreign currencies in relation to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. The functional currencies of our foreign operating locations are generally the local currency in the country, however, our results of operations and assets and liabilities are reported in U.S. dollars and thus will fluctuate with changes in exchange rates between such local currencies and the U.S. dollar. Additionally, because our consolidated financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, the translation of sales or earnings generated in other currencies into U.S. dollars can result in a significant increase or decrease in the amount of those sales or earnings in our financial statements, which also affects the comparability of our results of operations and cash flows between financial periods.

Seasonality/Weather

Although we generally have demand for our products throughout the year, our sales have historically experienced some seasonality. We have typically experienced our highest level of sales of our products in the second and third fiscal quarters as retailers across North America and Europe change over their floor sets, build inventory and fulfill consumer demand for outdoor cooking products. Sales are typically lower during our first and fourth fiscal quarters, with the exception of our Australia/ New Zealand business, which is counter-seasonal to the balance of our business. We have a long track record of investing in our business throughout the year, including in operating expenses, working capital and other growth initiatives. We typically borrow under our short-term revolving facility in the first and second fiscal quarters to fund working capital for building up inventory in anticipation of the higher demand we experience in the second and third fiscal quarters. While these investments drive performance during the primary selling season in our second and third fiscal quarters, they generally have a negative impact on cash flow and net income during our first and fourth fiscal quarters. Unfavorable weather during our higher sales season can also have a material adverse impact on our results, and can cause shifts in sales across fiscal quarters.

Impact of Pandemic

We continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and adjust our mitigation strategies as necessary to address any changing health, operational or financial risks that may arise. After the onset of the pandemic, we experienced a significant increase in demand for our grills and accessories. While this demand has since moderated, we will continue to manage our production capacity. We continue to monitor the business for adverse impacts of the pandemic, including volatility in the foreign exchange markets, supply chain disruptions in certain markets and potential disruptions in certain countries. In the event we experience adverse impacts from the above or other factors, we would also evaluate the need to perform interim impairment tests for our goodwill, intangible assets and property, equipment and leasehold improvements. There can be no assurance that volatility and/or disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Components of our Operating Results

We consider a variety of financial and operating measures in assessing the performance of our business. The key U.S. GAAP measures we use are net sales, gross profit, loss from operations and net loss.

Net Sales

We offer a broad range of products that consist of grills, accessories and consumables. Sales are recorded net of related discounts, allowances and taxes to be submitted to third parties. We discuss the net sales of our products in our three reportable segments, as defined below.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit is calculated by taking net sales less cost of goods sold, which includes the cost of direct materials, labor, purchased finished products and components, inbound freight, packaging, warranty and depreciation. Gross margin is defined as gross profit as a percentage of net sales.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of research and development, marketing, advertising and selling costs; non-manufacturing employee compensation and benefit costs; transportation costs of delivering our product to customers and the costs associated with a network of warehousing facilities to house inventory until the point of sale; outside services and fees; legal, insurance, accounting, audit and other administrative expenses; and general corporate infrastructure costs.

27

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest on our borrowings, including our credit facilities (term loans and revolving facilities), overdraft facility and charges for limited standby letters of credit. Interest expense, net also includes the amortization of deferred financing costs associated with our credit facilities, current year impacts of interest rate swap transactions, as well as interest resulting from a financing obligation under a sale-leaseback arrangement. Interest expense is offset by our interest income, consisting of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Reportable Segments

We operate and manage our business in three reportable segments: Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”). We identify our reportable segments based on the information used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to monitor performance and allocate resources. See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our reportable segments.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the U.S. GAAP results provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we provide supplemental non-GAAP measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions. Our management team utilizes a combination of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate business results, to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions. As a result, we believe the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our management team and improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and in their analysis of ongoing operating trends. The use of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the comparable U.S. GAAP measures. In addition, because our non-GAAP measures are not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, it is susceptible to differing calculations, and not all comparable or peer companies may calculate their non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Our non-GAAP measures are adjusted loss from operations, adjusted net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Loss from Operations and Adjusted Net Loss

Adjusted loss from operations and adjusted net loss are loss from operations and net loss, respectively, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, business transformation costs, operational transformation costs and financing costs. Adjusted loss from operations also reflects an adjustment for foreign currency gain (loss). Adjusted net loss reflects each of the above adjustments, except for foreign currency gain (loss) and the tax impact of all adjustments.

We use adjusted loss from operations and adjusted net loss as indicators of the productivity of our business and our ability to manage expenses, after adjusting for certain expenses that we view as not indicative of regular operations. Adjusted loss from operations and adjusted net loss are not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is net loss before interest expense, net, income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and our Board to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other U.S. GAAP measures. We use Adjusted EBITDA to supplement U.S. GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, make budgeting decisions and compare our performance against that of other companies using similar measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, business transformation costs, operational transformation costs and financing costs. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, is not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indicator of a company’s operating performance in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net loss, cash flows from operations or cash flow data, all of which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA solely as supplemental disclosure because we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these items.

Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $118.2 million, or 42%, to $164.9 million from $283.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was attributable to higher retailer inventory carried over from fiscal year 2022 that drove lower customer orders, slowed consumer sales due to the macroeconomic factors described in the section titled “Economic Conditions”. The decrease in sales volume was partially offset by certain pricing actions. Fluctuation in foreign exchange rates also unfavorably impacted net sales by $7.6 million, particularly the Australian Dollar and the Euro as compared to the U.S. dollar. Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased in the Americas by 38%, in EMEA by 58% and in APAC by 36% as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $90.2 million, or 41%, to $129.0 million from $219.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to lower sales volumes.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $28.1 million, or 44%, to $35.9 million from $64.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021. Gross margin decreased by 81 basis points to 22% during the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin resulted from lower volumes and was partially offset by pricing actions in all regions.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $25.7 million, or 17%, to $122.4 million from $148.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of net sales increased by 2,192 basis points to 74% during the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs was primarily driven by lower stock-based compensation expense of $16.5 million, which is primarily due to fewer unvested profits interest awards and Pre-IPO Management Incentive Compensation Plan awards in the current year period, a reduction in advertising expense of $5.7 million, lower distribution costs on lower sales of $4.8 million and lower salary costs of $2.9 million resulting from the restructuring plan implemented in fiscal year 2022. This was partially offset by higher consulting costs of $7.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was essentially flat as compared to the prior year period.

Restructuring Costs. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company adjusted its restructuring reserve due to changes in estimates, resulting in income of $1.2 million.

Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss. The impact of foreign exchange resulted in a gain of $11.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 relative to a loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 due to the foreign exchange rate impacts on transactions with Weber affiliates conducted in foreign currencies other than the US dollar. The gain in the current year period primarily relates to Euro-denominated transactions.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net increased by $14.0 million, or 90%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the commencement of the Incremental Term Loan in March 2022 and higher interest rates.

Income Taxes. Income taxes increased by $35.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase is driven by adjustments for full valuation allowance loss entities that were established during the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, primarily for Weber Inc.

Net Loss. Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased by $39.3 million to a net loss of $113.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from $74.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to lower gross profit of $28.1 million, which was driven by lower net sales of $118.2 million and lower costs of goods sold of $90.2 million, higher income taxes of $35.5 million and higher interest expense of $14.0 million as compared to the prior year period. This was partially offset by favorable foreign currency impacts of $11.2 million and a reduction in selling, general and administrative costs of $25.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Americas

The following table summarizes certain financial information relating to the Americas segment results that have been derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements:

	Three Months Ended December 31,				$ Variance Increase/ (Decrease)		% Variance Increase/ (Decrease)
	2022		2021
	(dollars in thousands)
Total segment net sales	$	97,508	$	156,494	$	(58,986)	(38	%)
Segment adjusted income from operations	$	1,528	$	23,286	$	(21,758)	(93	%)

Total Segment Net Sales. Total segment net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $59.0 million, or 38%, to $97.5 million from $156.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was attributable to higher retailer inventory carried over from fiscal year 2022 that drove lower customer orders, slowed consumer sales due to the macroeconomic factors described in the section titled “Economic Conditions” and delayed timing of shipments related to the deployment of the Company's Global SAP/S4 HANA ERP platform. These decreases were partially offset by pricing actions.

Segment Adjusted Income from Operations. Segment adjusted income from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $21.8 million, or 93%, to $1.5 million from $23.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was attributable to lower sales volumes, higher allocation of corporate supply chain costs and was partially offset by pricing actions, lower distribution costs on reduced sales and lower advertising spend.

EMEA

The following table summarizes certain financial information relating to the EMEA segment results that have been derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements:

	Three Months Ended December 31,				$ Variance Increase/ (Decrease)		% Variance Increase/ (Decrease)
	2022		2021
	(dollars in thousands)
Total segment net sales	$	26,687	$	62,985	$	(36,298)	(58	%)
Segment adjusted (loss) income from operations	$	(9,841)	$	10,269	$	(20,110)	(196	%)

Total Segment Net Sales. Total segment net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $36.3 million, or 58%, to $26.7 million from $63.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was attributable to higher retailer inventory carried over from fiscal year 2022 that drove lower customer orders, slowed consumer purchases across most of the segment due to the macroeconomic factors described in the section titled “Economic Conditions” as well as unfavorable impacts of foreign exchange rates, which reduced net sales by $2.7 million. Excluding the $2.7 million unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, EMEA net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by 53%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Segment Adjusted (Loss) Income from Operations. Segment adjusted (loss) income from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $20.1 million, or 196%, to a loss of $9.8 million from income of $10.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower sales, higher allocation of corporate supply chain costs, partially offset by pricing actions, lower advertising costs and reduced distribution costs on lower sales.

APAC

The following table summarizes certain financial information relating to the APAC segment results that have been derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements:

	Three Months Ended December 31,				$ Variance Increase/ (Decrease)		% Variance Increase/ (Decrease)
	2022		2021
	(dollars in thousands)
Total segment net sales	$	40,704	$	63,662	$	(22,958)	(36	%)
Segment adjusted income from operations	$	10,980	$	19,347	$	(8,367)	(43	%)

33

Total Segment Net Sales. Total segment net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $23.0 million, or 36%, to $40.7 million from $63.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was attributable to lower revenues as consumer traffic, both in-store and online, slowed in comparison to the exceptional demand realized during the same period last year. In addition, unfavorable foreign exchange rates, specifically the Australian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar, reduced net sales by $4.5 million. Excluding the $4.5 million unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, APAC net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by 29% as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Segment Adjusted Income from Operations. Segment adjusted income from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $8.4 million, or 43%, to $11.0 million from $19.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower sales in Australia, increased distribution costs and higher allocation of corporate supply chain costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary working capital requirements are to fund our daily operational activities like purchasing raw materials and component parts to manufacture products, and making payments to suppliers for goods and services. Our working capital requirements fluctuate during the year, driven primarily by the seasonality of market demand and the timing of inventory manufacturing and purchases, as well as the timing of cash receipts for products sold to customers. Our business is seasonal in nature with the highest level of sales of products occurring in the second and third fiscal quarters; accordingly, we historically borrowed under our short-term revolving credit facility in the first and second fiscal quarters to fund working capital for building up inventory in anticipation of the higher demand in the second and third fiscal quarters. Our capital expenditures are primarily related to growth initiatives and operational spending, including investments related to new product development, manufacturing and operational activities and investments in technology systems. In addition, in the future we may allocate capital to strategic acquisitions.

Generally, we fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, payments related to acquisitions and debt service requirements with a combination of both cash on hand and the borrowing capacity under the Secured Credit Facility, as discussed below. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into new Unsecured Loan Agreements, as discussed below, which have increased our liquidity position. The Company considers all investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents, which consist primarily of demand deposits with major financial institutions in the U.S. and in countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate. As of December 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $37.7 million, we had $12.8 million of borrowings available under the Revolving Loan, $230.0 million of borrowings available under the Unsecured Revolving Loan and $120.0 million available under the Unsecured 15% Term Loan.

We believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents, including availability under the Secured Credit Facility and new Unsecured Loan Agreements, to fund our operations, capital expenditures and debt service through fiscal year 2023.

Secured Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility arrangement with a term loan of $1,250.0 million (“Term Loan”), an incremental term loan of $250.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $300.0 million (the “Revolving Loan”) (collectively, the “Secured Credit Facility”).

The Term Loan matures on October 30, 2027 and the revolving facility matures by October 30, 2025. Borrowings under the credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (i) LIBOR for the relevant interest period, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum for all revolving loans and a 0.75% floor for the term loans), plus an applicable margin or (ii) a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate”, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) adjusted LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00% (subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum), in each case, plus an applicable margin. As of December 31, 2022, the interest rate on the Incremental Term Loan was LIBOR plus 3.25%.

The Incremental Term Loan matures on October 30, 2027. At the Company’s option, the Incremental Term Loan interest rate is based on either (a) Term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) for the applicable interest period (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus an applicable margin or (b) base rate equal to the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate”, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) Term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00% (subject to a floor of 0.75% per annum), in each case,

34

plus an applicable margin. As of December 31, 2022, the interest rate on the Incremental Term Loan was SOFR plus 4.25%.

On December 27, 2022, the Company amended the Secured Credit Facility loan agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the leverage ratio covenant was waived for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all other covenants in the Secured Credit Facility.

Unsecured Loan Agreements

On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement with BDT Capital Partners Fund I, L.P. and BDT Capital Partners Fund I-A, L.P. The loan agreement provides for an unsecured term loan in an initial aggregate principal amount of $61.2 million (the “Unsecured 12% Term Loan”) and additional unsecured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million. The Unsecured 12% Term Loan and any additional unsecured term loans entered into under the loan agreement mature on January 29, 2028 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 12.0%, payable in kind or in cash, at the election of the Company, on a quarterly basis (and, in the absence of such election, interest will be paid in kind).

On December 11, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Ribeye Parent, LLC, which provides for an unsecured delayed draw term loan of $120.0 million (the “Unsecured 15% Term Loan”) and an unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial aggregate commitment of $230.0 million (the “Unsecured Revolving Loan”) (collectively, the “Unsecured 15% Credit Facility”). The Unsecured 15% Term Loan and Unsecured Revolving Loan may be drawn down subject to customary closing conditions no later than December 31, 2023. Borrowings under the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility mature on December 31, 2023 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 15.0%, payable in kind or in cash, at the election of the Company, on a quarterly basis (and, in the absence of such election, interest will be paid in kind). A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum or average daily unused commitments under the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility shall also be payable in kind or in cash on a quarterly basis.

The Unsecured 12% Term Loan and Unsecured 15% Credit Facility contain no negative covenants and no financial maintenance covenant.

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	13,134	$	(61,318)

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $111.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to $187.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $76.3 million or 41%. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities is primarily due to the normalization of global inventory levels.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $24.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to $25.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $1.4 million or 6%, which was related to lower capital expenditures. In both periods, capital expenditures were primarily comprised of costs for the Company’s implementation of a Global SAP/S4 HANA ERP platform and capital for the Europe Manufacturing Facility in Poland. The prior year period also reflects building improvements for the global headquarters office in the U.S.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $159.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to $153.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company borrowed a net amount of $111.0 million on its Revolving Loan and received proceeds of $61.2

35

million for issuance of the Unsecured 12% Term Loan. In addition, the Company repaid $4.9 million of other borrowings, made $3.8 million of principal repayments on its term loans, paid $1.5 million for interest rate swap settlements and paid $1.5 million for taxes associated with share-based compensation, all of which offset the cash proceeds.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company borrowed a net amount of $161.0 million on its Revolving Loan and received proceeds of $11.3 million for issuance of capital. This was partially offset by member distributions of $9.6 million, a principal repayment of $3.1 million on the Term Loan, dividend payments of $2.1 million, payments of certain IPO-related costs of $2.1 million and interest rate swap settlements of $1.5 million.

Credit Rating

In December 2022, S&P affirmed Weber Inc.'s credit rating of CCC+.

Other Information

As of December 31, 2022, $33.1 million of our $37.7 million in cash and cash equivalents was held in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. Cash held outside the U.S. may be repatriated, subject to certain limitations, and would be available to be used to fund our domestic operations. However, repatriation of funds may result in additional tax liabilities. We believe that our existing cash balance in the U.S. is sufficient to fund our working capital needs in the U.S.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical results and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, all of which form the basis for making estimates concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during the three months ended December 31, 2022. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022 for a summary of these policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no new accounting standards material to Weber Inc. that have been adopted during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes with respect to the Company’s exposure to market risk disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of our previously reported material weakness in the design and operation of information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) related to our IT applications supporting all of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting processes, including our enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”), which we describe in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

36

Remediation of Material Weakness

The Company is in the process of implementing changes associated with the design, implementation, and monitoring of ITGCs in the areas of user access and change management for IT applications supporting all of the Company’s financial statement preparation and reporting processes to ensure that internal controls are designed and operating effectively. A significant portion of our remediation plan to address the material weakness includes the implementation of our new global ERP system, SAP S4/HANA, which was deployed in the U.S. and significant portions of our European operations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. While the new system is expected to be implemented to all global operations, the Company is evaluating the timing of the implementation, which may fluctuate based on future business conditions. The new ERP system will allow us to address user access and systematic segregation of duties issues by establishing user roles specific to the nature of each job function. We are also establishing controls to ensure the appropriate authorization of new user access provisioning requests and user terminations, including the performance of routine reviews of existing user access, and appropriate controls over change management. For those portions of the business where legacy IT applications remain in place beyond our next assessment period, the Company intends to address the control deficiencies as necessary. We believe that these actions, collectively, will remediate the material weakness. However, the material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the ongoing remediation plans described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information presented in Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, on July 29, 2022, a purported class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois naming as defendants, among others, the Company, our former Chief Executive Officer, our former Chief Financial Officer, our interim Chief Financial Officer, most of our board of directors and the banks that acted as underwriters in our initial public offering. The complaint asserts claims under U.S. federal securities laws, on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of shares of Class A common stock in the Company’s initial public offering in August 2021 (the “IPO”), alleging that the IPO Registration Statement and prospectus made false or misleading statements regarding the purported likelihood of price increases and declining demand and failed to disclose that, as a result of the foregoing, there would be an adverse impact on the Company’s financial results. The action seeks unspecified damages and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

On January 19, 2023, a purported stockholder filed a lawsuit against the Company and its Board of Directors in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint asserts claims against all defendants under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act for allegedly false or misleading statements in the Company’s preliminary information statement filed in connection with the Merger, and against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act for alleged control person liability with respect to such allegedly false and misleading statements. The complaint seeks, among other relief, (1) to enjoin defendants from consummating the Merger; (2) to rescind the Merger or recover damages, if the Merger is completed; (3) to require defendants to disseminate certain additional information as specified in the complaint; and (4) costs, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees. Since the filing of the lawsuit, the Company has also received several demand letters, alleging that the disclosures in the preliminary information statement are incomplete and demanding that the Company issue supplemental disclosures. The Company believes the claims asserted in the lawsuit and the demands are without merit.

The Company has also received several demands from purported stockholders seeking the production of books and records, pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220, for the purported purpose of investigating potential wrongdoing in connection with the Merger. On January 17, 2023, one of the demanding stockholders filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint asserts claims under 8 Del. C. § 220, and consistent with the stockholder’s demand, seeks to compel inspection of certain books and records related to the Merger. The Company is negotiating with the stockholders over the scope of a production in response to the lawsuit and demands.

Additional lawsuits arising out of the Merger may be filed in the future. No assurances can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits or the actions filed to date.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Pursuant to the terms of the HoldCo LLC Agreement, each holder of LLC Units has the right to require Weber HoldCo LLC (the “HoldCo LLC Agreement”) to redeem all or a portion of its LLC Units for, at the Company’s election, newly issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications). Additionally, in the event of a redemption request by a holder of LLC Units, the Company may, at its option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A common stock for LLC Units in lieu of such a redemption. A corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock will be canceled on a one-for-one basis if the Company or Weber HoldCo LLC, following a redemption request of a holder of LLC Units, redeems or exchanges LLC Units of such holder of LLC Units.

The HoldCo LLC Agreement was amended on December 11, 2022 by certain affiliates of BDT Capital Partners, LLC. As amended, holders of shares of Class B Common Stock and paired LLC Units had the right to participate in the Merger by delivering a notice of participation on or prior to January 28, 2023. Such right was provided in lieu of any right such holders have to participate in the Merger pursuant to Section 10.05(a) of the HoldCo LLC Agreement or otherwise

38

redeem units of Weber HoldCo LLC during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger.

General

1. General

Description of Business

Weber Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Weber,” the “Company,” “we” and “our”) is an outdoor cooking company in the global outdoor cooking market. Our product portfolio includes traditional charcoal grills, gas grills, smokers, pellet grills, electric grills and related accessories. Our full range of products is sold in 78 countries.

We are headquartered in Palatine, Illinois, and our stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “WEBR.”

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On December 11, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ribeye Parent, LLC (“Parent”) and Ribeye Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of BDT Capital Partners LLC. BDT Capital Partners LLC will acquire all of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock (other than (i) shares of Class A common stock held by BDT Capital Partners

I-A Holdings, LLC and BDT WSP Holdings, LLC, (ii) any shares of common stock canceled pursuant to the Merger

Agreement and (iii) any dissenting shares of Class A common stock) for $8.05 per share in cash.

The Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions. Subject to the satisfaction (or if applicable, waiver) of such conditions, the Merger is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2023.

Consolidation and 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 December 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, 2022.

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. 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.

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

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the 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

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 change over 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

Receivables Purchase Agreement

In March 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 had satisfied the required criteria under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860, Transfers and Servicing, and were de-recognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The maximum receivables that may be sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement at any time is $235.0 million. There were no trade accounts receivable sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 as the third party under the Receivables Purchase Agreement had previously informed the Company that, as permitted by the terms of the agreement, it would not be purchasing trade accounts receivable for an unspecified period of time. There can be no assurance that the third party will begin purchasing trade accounts receivable in the near term, or at all.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from its normal business activities, offset by an allowance for expected credit losses. The 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. Additionally, the Company establishes customer-specific allowances for known at-risk accounts. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. Accounts receivable are written off when it is determined that the receivable will not be collected.

The 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. The allowance for expected credit losses was $3.5 million and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In March 2020, 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. In December 2022, the FASB issued

ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extended the date which this temporary guidance can be applied to December 31, 2024. This guidance has not impacted our 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

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This guidance requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company's Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 as part of a cost-saving plan to preserve liquidity, expand gross margins and reduce selling, general and administrative costs. The restructuring plan included the termination of certain senior executives, a workforce reduction of non-manufacturing and distribution headcount, the termination of certain contracts and the disposal of certain other assets. The Company expects to substantially complete the restructuring plan by the end of fiscal year 2023.

The accrued restructuring costs balance of $9.7 million and $17.6 million was included in Accrued expenses as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The accrued restructuring costs balance relates to cash payments

The Company has a credit facility arrangement with an initial term loan of $1,250.0 million (“Term Loan”), an Incremental Term Loan of $250.0 million (“Incremental Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Loan”) with a maximum commitment of $300.0 million, which can be restricted to a lower borrowing level based on the result of a financial covenant testing condition, as defined in the Secured Credit Facility loan agreement (collectively, the “Secured Credit Facility”). As of December 31, 2022, the Revolving Loan had borrowings outstanding of $278.0 million and letters of credit issued of $9.2 million, leaving $12.8 million of available borrowing capacity.

The loan agreement provides for an unsecured term loan in an initial aggregate principal amount of $61.2 million (the “Unsecured 12% Term Loan”) and additional unsecured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million. On December 11, 2022, the loan agreement was amended to extend the maturity of the Unsecured 12% Term Loan, as well as any additional unsecured term loans entered into under the loan agreement, from January 29, 2026 to January 29, 2028.

The Unsecured 12% Term Loan, as well as any additional unsecured term loans entered into under the loan agreement, bears interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 12.0%, payable in kind or in cash, at the election of the Company, on a quarterly basis (and, in the absence of such election, interest will be paid in kind). An upfront fee of 2.0% of the principal amount was paid in kind upon funding of the Unsecured 12% Term Loan. In connection with the Unsecured 12% Term Loan, the Company paid financing costs totaling $1.7 million, which were recorded as deferred financing costs within Long-term debt — related party in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the life of the Unsecured 12% Term Loan.

Principal under the Unsecured 12% Term Loan, as well as any additional unsecured term loans entered into under the loan agreement, is due on the maturity date of January 29, 2028, along with any fees and interest paid in kind. As of December 31, 2022, the Unsecured 12% Term Loan balance also reflects the upfront fee of $1.2 million that was paid in kind.

The Unsecured 12% Term Loan contains no negative covenants and no financial maintenance covenant and is considered a related party transaction.

Unsecured 15% Credit Facility

On December 11, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Ribeye Parent, LLC, which provides for an unsecured delayed draw term loan of $120.0 million (the “Unsecured 15% Term Loan”) and an unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial aggregate commitment of $230.0 million (the “Unsecured Revolving Loan”) (collectively, the “Unsecured 15% Credit Facility”). The Unsecured 15% Term Loan and Unsecured Revolving Loan may be drawn down subject to customary closing conditions no later than December 31, 2023. Borrowings under the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility mature on December 31, 2023.

Borrowings under the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility bear interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 15.0%, payable in kind or in cash, at the election of the Company, on a quarterly basis (and, in the absence of such election, interest will be paid in kind). An upfront fee of 2.0% of the aggregate revolving credit facility commitments was paid in kind on the closing date of the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility and an upfront fee of 2.0% of the principal amount will be payable in kind or in cash upon funding of the Unsecured 15% Term Loan. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum or average daily unused commitments under the Unsecured 15% Credit Facility is payable in kind or in cash on a quarterly basis. In connection with the Unsecured Revolving Loan, the Company paid financing costs totaling $4.7 million, which were recorded as deferred financing costs within Other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the life of the Unsecured Revolving Loan.

As of December 31, 2022, the Unsecured Revolving Loan had borrowings outstanding related to the upfront fee of $4.6 million that was paid in kind. The upfront fee did not reduce the available borrowing capacity of the Unsecured

Revolving Loan, leaving available borrowing capacity of $230.0 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company did not draw on the Unsecured 15% Term Loan as of December 31, 2022.

The Unsecured 15% Credit Facility contains no negative covenants and no financial maintenance covenant and is considered a related party transaction.

Covenants

The Secured Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants relating to, among other things, limitations on indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, sales of assets, acquisitions and members’ distributions. In addition, above a certain borrowing level, there is a financial covenant relating to the Company’s average leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2022, the leverage ratio covenant was waived and the Company was in compliance with all other covenants in the Secured Credit Facility.

The Unsecured 12% Term Loan and Unsecured 15% Credit Facility contain no negative covenants and no financial maintenance covenant.

6. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating variable interest rates under the Secured Credit Facility on Interest expense, net within its reported operating results. As cash flow hedges, the interest rate swaps are revalued at current market rates, with the changes in valuation reflected directly in Other comprehensive (loss) income, to the extent that the hedge is effective. The gains or losses on the interest rate swaps reported in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in equity are reclassified into Interest expense, net in the periods in which the monthly interest settlement is paid on the interest rate swap.

The notional values of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap contracts were as follows:

	December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022
	(dollars in thousands)
Interest rate swap contracts	$	1,220,000	$	1,220,000

On October 30, 2020, the Company completed a series of transactions to amend and extend certain interest rate swap agreements by an additional three years. These interest rate swap transactions consisted of the following: (i) $360.0 million of the interest rate swaps were de-designated as cash flow hedges, (ii) the Company entered into a $360.0 million pay-variable receive-fixed interest rate swap which was designed to economically offset the terms of the $360.0 million of swaps in (i) and which are not designated as cash flow hedges, and (iii) the Company entered into a $500.0 million new pay-fixed interest rate swap with an extended maturity. The new pay-fixed interest rate swap is considered a hybrid instrument with a financing component and an embedded at-market derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge (see discussion of cash flow presentation below).

At the time of the de-designation of the above $360.0 million in interest rate swaps, there was approximately $38.2 million of unrealized losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. This amount is amortized to interest expense through the remaining term of the original de-designated swaps unless it becomes probable that the cash flows originally hedged will not occur, in which case the proportionate amount of the loss will be recorded to interest expense at that time. The $360.0 million of interest rate swaps de-designated as cash flows hedges and the $360.0 million of offsetting swaps will be marked to market with changes in fair value recognized, along with the fixed and variable payments on these swaps, in interest expense which are expected to nearly offset each other. The Company presents the derivatives on a gross basis on the balance sheet.

The $500.0 million pay-fixed interest rate swap is a hybrid instrument in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, consisting of a financing component and an embedded at-market derivative. The financing component is accounted for at amortized cost over the life of the swap while the embedded at-market derivative is accounted for at fair value on the balance sheet and designated as a cash flow hedge. This $500.0 million swap is indexed to one-month LIBOR and is net settled on a monthly basis with the counterparty for the difference between the fixed rate of 2.2025% and the variable rate based upon one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) as applied to the notional amount of the swap. In connection with the transactions discussed above, no cash was exchanged between the Company and the counterparty. The

liability of the terminated interest rate swaps as well as the inception value of the receive-fixed interest rate swap was blended into the new pay-fixed interest rate swap. Cash settlements related to interest rate contracts will generally be classified as operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The cash flows related to the portion of the hybrid instrument treated as debt are classified as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows while the portion treated as an at-market derivative is classified as operating activities.

See Note 10 for further information.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating variable foreign currency denominated cash flows impacting Gross profit within its reported operating results. When entered, these financial instruments are designated as cash flow hedges of underlying exposures and de-designated when the foreign currency denominated sale of inventory is made to a third party. As cash flow hedges, the forward contracts are revalued at current foreign exchange rates with the changes in the valuation reflected directly in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, to the extent that the hedge is effective. The gains or losses on the forward contracts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in equity (deficit) are reclassified into Cost of goods sold in the period or periods in which the foreign currency denominated sale of inventory is made to a third party and the contracts are de-designated. The gains or losses from changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts de-designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in Foreign currency (gain) loss. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts that economically hedge its risk on foreign currency denominated receivables. The gains or losses from changes in fair value on these contracts are recorded in Foreign currency (gain) loss. Cash settlements related to forward currency forward contracts are classified as operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

There were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts as of December 31, 2022 or September 30, 2022.

Cash Flow Hedges Impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the (loss) gain recognized in Other comprehensive (loss) income was:

As of December 31, 2022, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $9.7 million of gains associated with the above contracts in net (loss) income within the next 12 months.

Commodity Index Contracts

The Company used commodity index contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in cash flows relating to the purchases of aluminum and steel-based components and raw materials impacting Gross profit. The commodity index contracts were accounted for as financial instruments and the Company did not apply hedge accounting. There were no outstanding commodity index contracts as of December 31, 2022.

The notional values of the Company’s outstanding commodity index contracts were as follows:

	December 31, 2022	September 30, 2022
	(volumes in pounds)
Steel index contracts	—	600,000

As financial instruments, the commodity index hedges were revalued at current commodity index rates with the changes in the valuation reflected directly in Cost of goods sold. The Company recorded a corresponding loss (gain) on the change in fair market value as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2022		2021
	(dollars in thousands)
Commodity index contracts	$	—	$	221

See Note 10 for further information.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Using derivative instruments means assuming counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk relates to the loss the Company could incur if a counterparty were to default on a derivative contract. The Company deals with only investment-grade counterparties and monitors the overall credit risk and exposure to individual counterparties. The Company did not experience any nonperformance by a counterparty during the three months ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. The Company did not require, nor did it post, collateral or security on such contracts.

Income Taxes

7. Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate at the end of each interim period, and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjusts the rate as necessary. The Company recorded income tax expense of $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily related to the tax expense incurred in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, which resulted in an effective tax rate of (4.7)%, as compared to the federal statutory rate of 21.0%. The difference in the effective tax rate was due to foreign taxes owed by foreign subsidiaries, previously established valuation allowances on U.S. and certain foreign pre-tax losses and changes in existing uncertain tax positions.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $30.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.0%, as compared to the federal statutory rate of 21.0%. The effective tax rate was higher than the statutory rate due to foreign taxes owed by foreign subsidiaries, uncertain tax positions and increases on certain previously established valuation allowances. These unfavorable expenses were partially offset by a noncontrolling interest benefit to adjust for Weber Inc.'s allocable share of Weber HoldCo LLC's net loss for the quarter.

Warranty

The Company offers warranties on most of its products. The specific terms and conditions of the warranties offered by the Company vary depending upon the product sold. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty plans and the period for which claims are honored, and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, the type of products sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

The following is an analysis of product warranty reserves and charges against those reserves (dollars in thousands):

Balance at September 30, 2022	$	28,743
Accrual for warranties issued	635
Warranty settlements made	(893)
Balance at December 31, 2022	$	28,485

The balance of warranty reserves recorded in Other long-term liabilities was $23.2 million as of both December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022. The remaining current balances of $5.3 million and $5.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, were recorded in Accrued expenses.

Contingent Consideration

As part of the acquisition of all aspects of the business related to iGrill and Kitchen Thermometer products from iDevices, LLC (“iDevices”), the Company has future cash payments due to iDevices in conjunction with an earn-out and development agreement. Under this agreement, the Company paid iDevices a minimum of $8.0 million, and then must pay additional royalty payments at fixed rates on iGrill and Kitchen Thermometer products sold for a total of 10 years or up to $15.0 million, whichever comes first. Under the terms of the earn-out and development agreement, the Company paid $0.1 million during both the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $0.6 million at both December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022. The fair value of these estimated future cash payments was based on valuation methods and management’s best estimates and was recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to a variety of investigations, claims, suits and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business including, but not limited to, intellectual property, employment, tort and breach of contract matters, as well as securities litigation. The Company currently believes that the outcomes of such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, cash flows, financial position or results of operations. Any legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and management’s view of these matters and their potential effects may change in the future.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

With respect to financial assets and liabilities, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

•Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The Company had interest rate swap contracts held with financial institutions as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, classified as Level 2 financial instruments, which are valued using observable underlying interest rates and market-determined risk premiums at the reporting date.

The Company had commodity index contracts held with financial institutions as of September 30, 2022, classified as Level 2 financial instruments, which are valued using observable commodity index rates at the reporting date.

The Company had a contingent consideration liability as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, classified as a Level 3 instrument, in conjunction with its acquisition of all aspects of the business related to iGrill and Kitchen Thermometer products from iDevices. The fair value of these estimated future cash payments was determined based on valuation methods and estimates of future cash flows. See Note 8 for further details.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis was as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

11. Stock-Based Compensation

The Weber Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) provides for the issuance of up to 22,694,608 shares of Class A common stock in connection with equity awards granted under the 2021 Plan. The Company has three types of share-based compensation awards outstanding under the 2021 Plan: profits interest awards, options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

Profits Interest Awards

Prior to the Company's IPO, the Company granted profits interest units with vesting periods ranging from one to five years to certain key employees in consideration for their services to or for the benefit of the Company. A portion of the profits interest units vest based on service and a portion of the awards based on service as well as the Company’s achievement of certain performance objectives associated with net sales (“hybrid units”).

The profits interest units have distribution thresholds determined on a per common unit in Weber HoldCo LLC (“LLC unit”) basis with the holder receiving, upon exercise, a value in LLC units equal to the difference between the current fair value per LLC unit less the distribution threshold. Therefore, the distribution thresholds serve as a cashless exercise price, with holders receiving their share of the value of the Company’s implied equity value in excess of the distribution threshold. Once vested, the profits interests represent profits interest ownership in the Company tied solely to the accretion, if any, in the value of the Company in excess of the distribution threshold.

During fiscal year 2022, Weber Inc. paid dividends to holders of Class A common stock. Profits interest units that were outstanding at the time of the dividends were adjusted pursuant to pre-existing anti-dilution provisions in the Company’s equity incentive plan documents. The adjustments reduced the distribution thresholds of outstanding profits interest units by the amount of the dividend per share. The adjustments did not result in incremental stock-based compensation expense as the anti-dilutive adjustments were required by pre-existing terms included within the awards. There were no changes to the profits interest units distribution thresholds during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

The following table summarizes the Company’s profits interest award activity during the three months ended December 31, 2022:

	Service-Based Units					Hybrid Units
	Units	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Fair Value		Units	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Fair Value
Nonvested units, September 30, 2022	2,736,414	$	8.64	$	7.19	1,185,180	$	9.50	$	8.09
Performance adjustments(1)	—	$	—	$	—	(266,665)	$	9.50	$	7.95
Nonvested units, December 31, 2022	2,736,414	$	8.64	$	7.19	918,515	$	9.50	$	8.91

_____________

(1)The hybrid awards vest based on achievement of a performance target. For the awards that will vest during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, 55% of the awards met the performance target resulting in a 45% reduction in the number of units that will vest.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, there were no profits interest unit awards granted or vested. As of December 31, 2022, there were 9,701,516 vested profits interest service-based units and 491,849 vested profits interest hybrid units. As of December 31, 2022, there was $4.5 million and $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested profits interest service-based units and hybrid units, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.5 years for service-based units and 0.1 years for hybrid units.

Options

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, zero options were granted and 168,115 options vested.

RSUs

During the three months ended December 31, 2022 the Company granted RSUs to certain employees of the Company. The RSUs vest over a period ranging from one year to three years. The RSUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying shares of Class A common stock as the Company declares dividends. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of RSUs in cash upon the vesting date of the associated RSU and will be forfeited if the RSU does not vest. RSUs that were converted from equity awards outstanding prior to the Company’s IPO do not accrue dividends until they are fully vested. The fair value of the RSU awards was calculated utilizing the closing day stock price on the date of grant. Upon vesting of the award, the Company will issue shares of Class A common stock to the award holder. At the time of issuance, the Company will typically withhold the number of shares to satisfy the statutory withholding tax obligation and deliver the net number of resulting shares vested to award holder.

The following tables summarize the Company’s RSUs and activity during the three months ended December 31, 2022:

	Total RSUs
	Number of RSUs	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested, September 30, 2022	3,156,752	$	17.06
Granted	4,756,698	$	6.82
Vested	(1,286,906)	$	17.73
Forfeited	(707,326)	$	17.31
Nonvested, December 31, 2022	5,919,218	$	8.65

	Total RSUs
	Number of RSUs	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Units vested	1,286,906	$	17.73
Units settled(1)	(886,770)	$	17.58
Vested- Not settled, December 31, 2022	1,314,995	$	16.73

_____________

(1)For RSUs granted after the Company's IPO, the settlement of awards occurs on the vesting date. For RSUs that were converted from Pre-IPO Management Incentive Compensation Plan awards, the post vesting settlement of awards can occur up to ten years after the vesting date.

As of December 31, 2022, there was $41.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In December 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the termination of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which was effective immediately. There were no shares purchased under the ESPP during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Summary of Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Corporate/Other is not an operating segment and includes unallocated corporate and certain supply chain expenses and assets (consisting primarily of cash, land, buildings and equipment, certain intangible assets (trademark) and deferred tax assets), inter-segment eliminations and other adjustments to segment results necessary for the presentation of consolidated financial results in accordance with GAAP. Internal revenue transactions between the Company’s segments are immaterial. Each operating segment derives its revenues from the provision of gas, charcoal, electric and pellet grills and related accessories to customers.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about the

Company’s revenue and profitability, for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. The CODM receives discrete financial information by segment.

The CODM reviews adjusted loss from operations as the key segment measure of performance. Adjusted loss from operations is defined as loss from operations adjusted for unallocated net expenses, stock-based compensation and restructuring costs. Adjusted loss from operations excludes interest expense, net, and income taxes.

The information below summarizes key financial performance measures by reportable segment:

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]

Noncontrolling Interests

13. Noncontrolling Interests

The noncontrolling interests balance represents the economic interests in Weber HoldCo LLC held by the Pre-IPO LLC Members. The following table summarizes the ownership of LLC Units in Weber HoldCo LLC as of December 31, 2022:

	LLC Units	Ownership Percentage
LLC Units held by Weber Inc.	53,738,392	19	%
Units held by Pre-IPO LLC Members	234,476,377	81	%
Balance at end of period	288,214,769	100	%

The noncontrolling interest holders have the right to exchange an LLC unit along with a share of Class B common stock ("Paired Interests") for Class A common stock. As such, future exchanges of Paired Interests by noncontrolling interest holders will result in a change in ownership and decrease or increase the amount recorded as noncontrolling interests and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital when Weber HoldCo LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, pre-IPO LLC members exchanged 30,259 Paired Interests for Class A common stock.

Earnings Per Unit [Abstract]

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Weber Inc. by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding during the period includes both the weighted average of Class A common stock outstanding as well as the weighted average of vested RSUs outstanding during the period. Shares of Class B common stock do not share in earnings and are not participating securities. Accordingly, separate presentation of earnings (loss) per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by giving effect to the potentially dilutive weighted average impact of profits interest awards, options, RSUs and HoldCo

LLC Units that are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock when paired with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock is as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2022		2021
	(in thousands, except shares and per share data)
Numerator - basic:

Denominator - diluted:
Weighted average of Class A common stock outstanding - basic	54,604,105		53,309,932
Weighted average effect of dilutive securities:
Add: Class A common stock assumed exchange for Paired Interests(2)	—		234,645,219
Weighted average Class A common stock outstanding - diluted	54,604,105		287,955,151
Earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock - basic	$	(0.50)	$	0.31
Earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock - diluted	$	(0.50)	$	(0.19)

_____________

(1)This adjustment assumes after-tax elimination of noncontrolling interests due to the assumed exchange of all Paired Interests for shares of Class A common stock in Weber Inc. as of the beginning of the period following the if-converted method for calculating diluted net loss per share.

(2)The diluted weighted average shares outstanding of Class A common stock includes the effects of the if-converted method to reflect the assumed exchange of all Paired Interests on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock in Weber Inc.

The following number of weighted average potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effect of including such potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive:

	Three Months Ended December 31,

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

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 December 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, 2022.

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. 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.

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 consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the 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 change over 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

Receivables Purchase Agreement

In March 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 had satisfied the required criteria under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860, Transfers and Servicing, and were de-recognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The maximum receivables that may be sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement at any time is $235.0 million. There were no trade accounts receivable sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 as the third party under the Receivables Purchase Agreement had previously informed the Company that, as permitted by the terms of the agreement, it would not be purchasing trade accounts receivable for an unspecified period of time. There can be no assurance that the third party will begin purchasing trade accounts receivable in the near term, or at all.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from its normal business activities, offset by an allowance for expected credit losses. The 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. Additionally, the Company establishes customer-specific allowances for known at-risk accounts. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. Accounts receivable are written off when it is determined that the receivable will not be collected.

The 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

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In March 2020, 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. In December 2022, the FASB issued

ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extended the date which this temporary guidance can be applied to December 31, 2024. This guidance has not impacted our 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

New Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This guidance requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
