NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2026

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

NOTE 1—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Basis of Presentation

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements, references to “Hamilton Beach Holding”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” and similar references are to Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis unless otherwise noted or as the context otherwise requires. Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company is a holding company and operates through its indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HBB”).

We are a leading designer, marketer and distributor of a wide range of brand name small electric household and specialty housewares appliances, and commercial products for restaurants, fast food chains, bars and hotels, and a provider of connected devices and software for home healthcare management.

Our operations are managed and reported in two operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: (1) Home and Commercial Products and (2) Health.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported operating profit, net income, or stockholders’ equity.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year as our revenue typically increases during the second half of the year and peaks during the fourth quarter due to the fall holiday-selling season. Accordingly, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our past operating results are meaningful only when comparing equivalent time periods, if at all.

We maintain a $125.0 million senior secured floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “HBB Facility”) that expires on December 13, 2029. We believe funds available from cash on hand, the HBB Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months.

Accounting Standards Adopted

Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets,” which amends Topic 326 for current accounts receivable and contract assets under Topic 606. Although the ASU introduces a practical expedient allowing entities to assume current conditions remain unchanged over the life of the asset, the Company did not elect this expedient and therefore continues to estimate expected credit losses using its existing allowance for credit losses methodology based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as general trends of the entire customer pool, consistent with the pre-ASU framework. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),” which requires additional information to be disclosed about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which modernizes previously written guidance around internal-use software costs by eliminating accounting consideration of software project development stages and provides for cost capitalization when management has authorized and committed funding to the project and that the project is considered ‘probable’ of completion and the software used to perform the function as intended, along with prescriptive disclosure requirements associated with internal-use software costs to be consistent with Subtopic 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment” regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendment may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively or on a modified prospective basis prescribed by the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements.” The update provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. The amendments do not change the underlying objectives of interim reporting but are designed to enhance clarity in application. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within that annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Accounts Payable - Supplier Finance Program

The Company has an agreement with a third-party administrator to provide an accounts payable tracking system which facilitates a participating supplier’s ability to monitor and voluntarily elect to sell payment obligations owed by the Company to the designated third-party financial institution. Participating suppliers can sell one or more of the Company’s payment obligations at their sole discretion. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to sell one or more of its payment obligations. The Company’s rights and obligations with respect to such payment obligations, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these arrangements.

As of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had $25.1 million, $29.9 million and $66.9 million, respectively, in outstanding payment obligations to the third-party financial institution that are presented in accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There is no requirement to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees under the agreement. The Company pays the third-party financial institution based upon the original payment terms negotiated with participating suppliers. The payment of these obligations by the Company is included in cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The agreement limits payment obligations owed by the Company but sold by participating suppliers to $65.0 million. Of the amounts owed by the Company referenced above that are presented in accounts payable, participating suppliers have sold $19.9 million, $21.8 million and $57.1 million, as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

NOTE 2—Transfer of Financial Assets

The Company has an arrangement with a financial institution to sell certain U.S. trade receivables of a single customer on a non-recourse basis. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives cash proceeds and retains no rights or interest and has no obligations with respect to the sold receivables. These transactions, which are accounted for as sold receivables, result in a reduction in trade receivables because the agreement transfers effective control over and risk related to the receivables to the buyer. Under this arrangement, the Company derecognized $4.3 million and $32.4 million of trade receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively, and $145.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in derecognized trade receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is due to the Company’s decision to transition away from the arrangement. The loss incurred on sold receivables in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was not material. The Company does not carry any servicing assets or liabilities. Cash proceeds from this arrangement are reflected as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

NOTE 3—Fair Value Disclosure

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Description Balance Sheet Location MARCH 31<br>2026 DECEMBER 31<br>2025 MARCH 31<br>2025
Assets:
Interest rate swap agreements
Current Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 974 $ 831 $ 979
Long-term Other non-current assets 1,158 1,199 2,150
Foreign currency exchange contracts
Current Prepaid expenses and other current assets 133
$ 2,132 $ 2,030 $ 3,262
Liabilities:
Foreign currency exchange contracts
Current Other current liabilities 126 41
$ $ 126 $ 41

The Company measures its derivatives at fair value using significant observable inputs, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) swap curve, foreign currency spot rates and foreign currency forward rates to value its derivatives, including its interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company also incorporates the effect of HBB and counterparty credit risk into the valuation.

Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The $125.0 million fair value of the HBB Facility, including book overdrafts, which approximate book value, was determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account the Company’s credit risk, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company does not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities and there were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Stock Repurchase Program: In November 2025, the Company’s Board approved a stock repurchase program for the purchase of up to $25 million of the Company’s Class A Common outstanding starting January 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2027.

NOTE 5—Revenue

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which includes an estimate for variable consideration.

The Company’s warranty program to the consumer consists generally of an assurance-type limited warranty for electric appliances, with the majority of products having a warranty of one to three years. There is no guarantee to the consumer as the Company may repair or replace, at its discretion, products returned under warranty. Accordingly, the Company determined that no separate performance obligation exists.

Most of the Company’s products are not sold with a general right of return. Subject to certain terms and conditions, however, the Company will agree to accept a portion of products sold that, based on historical experience, are estimated to be returned for reasons such as product failure and excess inventory stocked by the customer. Product returns, customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, price competition, promotions and other volume-based incentives are accounted for as variable consideration.

A description of revenue sources and performance obligations for the Company are as follows:

Consumer and Commercial product revenue

Transactions with both consumer and commercial customers generally originate upon the receipt of a purchase order from a customer, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, specifying product(s) that the customer desires. Contracts for product revenue have an original duration of one year or less, and payment terms are generally standard and based on customer creditworthiness. Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, which is either when a product is shipped from a Company facility, or delivered to customers, depending on the shipping terms. The amount of revenue recognized varies primarily with price concessions and changes in returns. The Company offers price concessions to its customers for incentive offerings, special pricing agreements, price competition, promotions or other volume-based arrangements. The Company evaluated such agreements with its customers and determined returns and price concessions should be accounted for as variable consideration.

Consumer product revenue consists of sales of small electric household and specialty housewares appliances to traditional brick and mortar and ecommerce retailers, distributors and directly to the end consumer. A majority of this revenue is in North America.

Commercial product revenue consists of sales of products for restaurants, fast-food chains, bars and hotels. Approximately two-thirds of the Company’s commercial sales are in the U.S. and the remaining is in markets across the globe.

Table of Contents

License revenue

From time to time, the Company enters into licensing agreements which grant the right to use certain of the Company’s intellectual property (“IP”) in connection with designing, manufacturing, distributing, advertising, promoting and selling the licensees’ products during the term of the agreement. The IP that is licensed generally consists of trademarks, trade names, patents, trade dress, logos and/or products (the “Licensed IP”). In exchange for granting the right to use the Licensed IP, the Company receives a royalty payment, which is a function of (1) the total net sales of products that use the Licensed IP and (2) the royalty percentage that is stated in the licensing agreement. The Company recognizes revenue at the later of when the subsequent sales occur or when the performance obligation is satisfied over time.

Additionally, the Company enters into agreements which grant the right to use software for healthcare management. The Company receives a license payment which is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied over time or as usage occurs based on the contract with the customer.

Lease revenue

The Company leases connected devices to specialty pharmacy networks and pharmaceutical companies and is accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases as operating leases.

The following table sets forth Company’s revenue on a disaggregated basis for the three months ended March 31:

Total revenues $ 121,963 $ 133,372

NOTE 6—Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business, including product liability, patent infringement, environmental and other claims. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these proceedings and claims, the Company believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operation or cash flows of the Company. Any costs that the Company estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount of such costs can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible and which are material, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, in some circumstances, an estimate of the possible loss.

Tariff matters (IEEPA)

On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court (“Court”) issued a ruling that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize the U.S. President to impose tariffs. The Court’s ruling invalidated tariffs previously implemented by the U.S. Presidential Administration pursuant to IEEPA. As a result of this ruling, the Company may be eligible for a refund of tariffs previously paid on imported goods. As the recoverability and timing of any such refund remains uncertain, the Company has not recognized a receivable and corresponding offset to expense or inventory as of March 31, 2026 and will not until such amounts are realized or realizable. The Company continues to monitor these developments and their potential impact on our results of operations.

Environmental matters

The Company is investigating or remediating historical environmental contamination at some current and former sites operated by the Company or by businesses it acquired. Based on the current stage of the investigation or remediation at each known site, the Company estimates the total investigation and remediation costs and the period of assessment and remediation activity required for each site. The estimate of future investigation and remediation costs is primarily based on variables associated with site clean-up, including, but not limited to, physical characteristics of the site, the nature and extent of the contamination and applicable regulatory programs and remediation standards.

As of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had accrued undiscounted obligations of $2.9 million, $2.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for environmental investigation and remediation activities. The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional expenses in the range of zero to $1.1 million related to the environmental investigation and remediation at these sites. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has a $0.7 million asset associated with the reimbursement of costs associated with two sites.

NOTE 7—Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period.

The effective tax rate was 28.5% and 28.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate remains consistent for the periods compared.

NOTE 8—Segment Information

The Company’s operations are managed and reported in two operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: (1) Home and Commercial Products and (2) Health. These segments are organized principally by product and service category. The Company’s reportable segments are determined based on (1) financial information reviewed by the chief operating decision maker “CODM”, (2) operational structure of the Company which is designed and managed to share resources across the entire suite of products offered by the business, and (3) the basis upon which the CODM makes resource allocation decisions. The CODM for both segments is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The CODM utilizes the segment operating profit (loss) to assess profitability and performance of actual results compared to forecasts.

The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows:

Home and Commercial Products

Our Home and Commercial Products segment includes consumer product revenue, primarily concentrated in North America, consisting of sales of small electric household and specialty housewares appliances to traditional brick and mortar and ecommerce retailers, distributors and directly to the end consumer. Also included in this segment is commercial product revenue consisting of sales of products for restaurants, fast-food chains, bars and hotels. Approximately two-thirds of the Company’s commercial sales is in the U.S. and the remaining is in markets across the globe.

Health

Our Health segment includes lease revenue in the U.S. and globally associated with leases of connected devices to specialty pharmacy networks and pharmaceutical companies, as well as licensing revenue associated with agreements which grant customers the right to use software for healthcare management.

The table below presents the revenues and significant expenses of the two reportable segments along with a reconciliation of segment profit (loss) to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes. Total assets by segment are not reported as the CODM does not regularly review asset information by segment.

Item 2. - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Dollars in thousands, except as noted and per share data)

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based upon management’s current expectations and are subject to various uncertainties and changes in circumstances. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements are set forth below under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.” Accordingly, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Our operations are managed and reported in two operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: (1) Home and Commercial Products and (2) Health.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

For a summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies, refer to “Part II - Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as there have been no material changes from those disclosed in the Annual Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The market for small electric household and specialty housewares appliances is fairly steady throughout the year; however, the Company’s revenue typically increases during the second half of the year and peaks during the fourth quarter due to the fall holiday-selling season.

The following table identifies the components of the change in revenue:

Revenue
2025 $ 133,372
Increase (decrease) from:
Unit volume and product mix (18,121)
Average sales price 4,651
Foreign currency 2,061
2026 $ 121,963

Revenue - Revenue decreased $11.4 million, or 8.6%, compared to the prior year due to lower volumes in the Company’s U.S. Consumer business.

Gross profit - Gross profit margin increased to 29.7% compared to 24.6% in the prior year due to favorable pricing and customer mix, partially offset by higher product costs. The margin improvement included a one-time benefit of 190 basis points related to the sell-through of inventory that was priced in anticipation of IEEPA tariffs that were eliminated following the Supreme Court’s ruling. This benefit is non-recurring and will not persist beyond the sell-through of the affected inventory.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) - Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to accelerated depreciation of the Company’s legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, partially offset by the benefit of restructuring actions taken by management during the second quarter of the prior year.

Interest (income) expense, net - Interest income, net was $0.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Other (income) expense, net - Other expense, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to other income, net of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Table of Contents

Income tax expense (benefit) - The effective tax rate was 28.5% and 28.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate remains consistent for the periods compared.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our cash flows are provided by dividends paid or distributions made by HBB. The only material assets held by us are the investments in our consolidated subsidiary. As a result, certain statutory limitations or regulatory or financing agreements could affect the levels of distributions allowed to be made by our subsidiary. We have not guaranteed any of the obligations of HBB.

Our principal sources of cash to fund liquidity needs are: (1) cash generated from operations and (2) borrowings available under the HBB Facility. Our primary use of funds consists of working capital requirements, operating expenses, payment of dividends, repurchase of shares, capital expenditures and payments of principal and interest on debt.

The HBB Facility expires on December 13, 2029. We believe funds available from cash on hand, the HBB Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months.

The following table presents selected cash flow information:

THREE MONTHS ENDED<br>MARCH 31
2026 2025
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities $ 3,304 $ 6,620
Net cash provided by (used for) investing activities $ (320) $ (516)
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities $ (2,835) $ (4,958)

Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.3 million, compared to cash provided of $6.6 million in the prior year, representing a decline of $3.3 million. The decline was primarily driven by higher net working capital, including a planned increase in accounts receivable following the Company’s decision to transition away from our arrangement with a financial institution to sell certain U.S. trade receivables of a single customer on a non-recourse basis which shifted the timing of cash receipts. This was partially offset by lower incentive payout compared to 2025.

Investing activities - Net cash used for investing activities decreased $0.2 million compared to the prior year.

Financing activities - Net cash used for financing activities decreased $2.1 million compared to the prior year due to lower share repurchases during the first three months of 2026.

Capital Resources

HBB does not expect to make voluntary repayments within the next twelve months under the HBB Facility as the rate of return to invest excess cash exceeds the average interest rate of the HBB Facility. A material decrease in interest rates could cause HBB to re-evaluate. The obligations under the HBB Facility are secured by all of HBB’s U.S. assets. As of March 31, 2026, the borrowing base under the HBB Facility was $103.9 million and borrowings outstanding were $50.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, Excess Availability (as defined in the HBB Facility) was $53.9 million.

The maximum availability under the HBB Facility is governed by a borrowing base derived from advance rates against eligible trade receivables and inventory of HBB. As of March 31, 2026, interest on outstanding loans under the HBB Facility accrues at a per annum rate equal to, at HBB’s option, either Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (as defined in the HBB Facility) plus 1.65% or the Base Rate (as defined in the HBB Facility) plus 0.00%. As of March 31, 2026, the HBB Facility requires a fee of 0.20% per annum on the unused commitment thereunder. The weighted average interest rate applicable to the HBB Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 3.24% (after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreements described below).

Table of Contents

To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of the HBB Facility. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require us to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. We have interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $50.0 million as of March 31, 2026 at an average fixed interest rate of 1.59%.

The HBB Facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and covenants, including, among other things, covenants applicable to HBB and its subsidiaries limiting indebtedness, liens, investments, dispositions and restricted payments. Additionally, if Excess Availability is less than $15.0 million at any time, the HBB Facility will require that HBB maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the HBB Facility) of 1.00 to 1.00 until Excess Availability is greater than or equal to $15.0 million for 30 consecutive days. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants in the HBB Facility.

The Company has an arrangement with a financial institution to sell certain U.S. trade receivables of a single customer on a non-recourse basis. See Note 2 - Transfer of Financial Assets included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Part I of this Form 10-Q.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements are made subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: (1) uncertain or unfavorable global economic conditions and impacts from tariffs, inflation, rising interest rates, recessions or economic slowdowns; (2) changes in costs, including transportation costs and tariffs, of sourced products; (3) the Company’s ability to source and ship products to meet anticipated demand; (4) changes in or unavailability of quality or cost effective suppliers; (5) the Company’s ability to successfully manage constraints throughout the global transportation supply chain; (6) delays in delivery of sourced products; (7) changes in the sales prices, product mix or levels of consumer purchases of small electric household and specialty housewares appliances; (8) changes in consumer retail and credit markets, including the increasing volume of transactions made through third-party internet sellers; (9) bankruptcy of or loss of major retail customers or suppliers; (10) exchange rate fluctuations, changes in the import tariffs and monetary policies and other changes in the regulatory climate in the countries in which the Company operates or buys and/or sells products; (11) the impact of tariffs on customer purchasing patterns; (12) customer acceptance of price increases or delays in the development of new products; (13) product liability, regulatory actions or other litigation, warranty claims or returns of products; (14) increased competition, including consolidation within the industry; (15) changes in customers’ inventory management strategies; (16) shifts in consumer shopping patterns, gasoline prices, weather conditions, the level of consumer confidence and disposable income as a result of economic conditions, unemployment rates or other events or conditions that may adversely affect the level of customer purchases of the Company’s products; (17) changes mandated by federal, state and other regulation, including tax, health, safety or environmental legislation; (18) the Company’s ability to identify, acquire or develop, and successfully integrate, new businesses or new product lines; and (19) other risk factors, including those described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Furthermore, the future impact of unfavorable economic conditions, including inflation, changing interest rates, availability of capital markets and consumer spending rates remains uncertain. In uncertain economic environments, we cannot predict whether or when such circumstances may improve or worsen, or what impact, if any, such circumstances could have on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

INTEREST RATE RISK

We enter into certain financing arrangements that require interest payments based on floating interest rates. As such, our financial results are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. There is an inherent rollover risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements. To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of our floating rate financing arrangements. We do not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require us to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate.

For the purpose of risk analysis, we use sensitivity analysis to measure the potential loss in fair value of financial instruments sensitive to changes in interest rates. We assume that a loss in fair value is an increase in our receivables. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was an asset of $2.1 million as of March 31, 2026. A hypothetical 10% relative decrease in interest rates would cause a decrease of $0.1 million in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements. Additionally, a hypothetical 10% relative increase in interest rates would cause an increase of $0.1 million in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements. Neither would have a material impact on the Company’s interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Table of Contents

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

We operate internationally through our foreign operating subsidiaries and enter into transactions denominated in foreign currencies, principally the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and, to a lesser extent, the Chinese yuan and the European Union euro. As such, our financial results are subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies affects the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. The potential impact of currency fluctuation increases as international expansion increases.

We have historically used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies and not for trading purposes. These contracts generally mature within twelve months and require us to buy or sell the functional currency in which the applicable subsidiary operates and buy or sell U.S. dollars at rates agreed to at the inception of the contracts. As of March 31, 2026, we do not have any foreign currency exchange rate contracts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
