Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures Disclosure

As a result of the completion of the Residential Transaction on February 2, 2026, the company deconsolidated the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group and recognized a loss on disposal within discontinued operations. See Note 9 to these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the company's discontinued operations. Following the closing, the company retained a 49% non-controlling equity interest in Composition Brands, which now holds the Residential Kitchen Equipment business. The company accounts for its investment in Composition Brands under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323 Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures.

The initial fair value of the company’s equity method investment of $150.8 million, as of February 2, 2026, was determined using an option pricing model under the income approach. Key inputs included the discount rate, expected volatility and time to

liquidity. This one-time, non-recurring valuation is classified as Level 3 due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In addition to the initial fair value, the company capitalized $4.4 million of eligible costs into the initial carrying value of the investment.

The company has elected to report its share of Composition Brands' results of operations on a one-quarter lag, consistent with the timing of financial information available from Composition Brands. Due to the reporting lag, the company has not recorded any share of Composition Brands' results during the quarter ended April 4, 2026.

Due to the presence of certain liquidation preferences and other investor rights in the limited partnership agreement, the company will utilize the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (“HLBV”) method to determine its share of Composition Brands' earnings or losses. Under the HLBV method, the company will calculate its share of Composition Brands' earnings or losses for each reporting period based on the change in the amount the company would receive if Composition Brands were liquidated at book value at the beginning and end of the period, taking into account the capital structure of Composition Brands, including any liquidation and distribution preferences.

The HLBV method is considered the most appropriate means of reflecting the economic substance of the company’s investment in Composition Brands, given the existence of contractual terms that affect the allocation of profits and losses among investors.

In connection with the Residential Transaction, the company entered into various commercial arrangements, pursuant to which the company will provide certain engineering, manufacturing, distribution, and sales channel support to Composition Brands on a transitional basis for initial periods of up to three years from the closing date of the Residential Transaction, with certain commercial arrangements automatically renewing for one-year terms until terminated. The company will also provide certain post-closing information technology, finance, tax, human resources, treasury, legal and supply chain services on a transitional basis for periods, generally up to 12 months from the closing date of the Residential Transaction (although certain services may be provided for up to 18 months from the closing date of the transaction if Composition Brands exercises its extension option), under the terms of a transition services agreement. Income and expenses related to these agreements are recognized in accordance with the underlying contractual terms and were not considered material to the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended April 4, 2026.

No distributions or dividends were received from Composition Brands during the quarter ended April 4, 2026.

The company evaluates its equity method investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. As of April 4, 2026, no indicators of impairment were identified.
