THE MIDDLEBY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE ~~29, 2019~~27, 2020

1)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a)Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Middleby Corporation (the "company" or “Middleby”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the company's ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K. The company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of future full year results for the fiscal year ~~2019.~~2020.

In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as of June ~~29, 2019~~27, 2020 and December ~~29, 2018,~~28, 2019, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June ~~29, 2019~~27, 2020 and June ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, cash flows for the six months ended June ~~29, 2019~~27, 2020 and June ~~30, 2018~~29, 2019 and statement of stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June ~~29, 2019~~27, 2020 and June ~~30, 2018.~~29, 2019.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with current year presentation, including classifying the non-operating components of pension benefit as an individual adjustment within the operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Previously the amounts were reported as changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, long-lived and intangible assets, warranty reserves, insurance reserves, income tax reserves, non-cash share-based compensation and post-retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from the company's estimates.

b)Non-Cash Share-Based Compensation

The company estimates the fair value of market-based stock awards and stock options at the time of grant and recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period of the awards and options. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was ~~$0.3~~$5.0 million and ~~$1.7~~$0.3 million for the three months period ended June ~~29, 2019~~27, 2020 and June ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, respectively. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was ~~$1.3~~$9.1 million and ~~$1.8~~$1.3 million for the six months period ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, ~~and June 30, 2018,~~ respectively.

A tax provision of ~~$53.9~~$5.6 million, at an effective rate of ~~25.1%~~20.9% was recorded during the three months period ended June 27, 2020, as compared to a $33.2 million tax provision at an effective rate of 26.5% in the prior year period. A tax provision of $28.3 million, at an effective rate of 22.9%, was recorded during the six months period ended June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, as compared to a ~~$47.9~~$53.9 million tax provision at a ~~24.3%~~25.1% effective rate in the prior year period. ~~In comparison to~~The effective tax rates in 2020 are lower than the comparable prior year ~~the effective rate increased~~rates primarily due to a ~~tax benefit recorded~~reduction in ~~2018 for enacted tax rate changes. The effective rates in 2019 and 2018 are higher than the federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and foreign tax rate differentials.~~non-deductible costs.

d)Fair Value Measures

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based ~~on our~~the company's own assumptions.

The company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy are as follows (in thousands):

3) Litigation Matters


3)	~~Litigation Matters~~

From time to time, the company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to products, suppliers, employees, customers and competitors. The company maintains insurance to partially cover product liability, workers compensation, property and casualty, and general liability matters. The company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of accrual required, if any, for these contingencies is made after assessment of each matter and the related insurance coverage. The required accrual may change in the future due to new developments or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters. The company does not believe that any pending litigation will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

4) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Pronouncements - Recently Adopted

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~. The amendments under this pronouncement change the way all leases with a duration of one year or more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or operating lease liability. The company adopted this guidance on December 30, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The company has elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs. The adoption of this guidance increased total assets and liabilities due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities amounting to approximately $85.0 million. For additional information related to the impact of adopting this guidance, see Note 14 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities". The amendments in ASU-12 provide new guidance about income statement classification and eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. The entire change in fair value for qualifying hedge instruments included in the effectiveness is recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and amounts deferred in OCI are reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. The adoption of this guidance on December 30, 2018 did not have a material impact on the company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information related to the impact of adopting this guidance, see Note 13 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting". The amendments in ASU-08 simplify several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The adoption of this guidance on December 30, 2018 did not have an impact on the company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August of 2018, the SEC published Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, "Disclosure Update and Simplification." This guidance streamlines disclosure requirements by removing certain redundant topics and is effective for quarterly and annual reports submitted after November 5, 2018. The adoption of this guidance on December 30, 2018 resulted in the presentation and expansion of the company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity to display quarter-to-quarter details.

~~Accounting Pronouncements - To be adopted~~

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial ~~Instruments,”~~Instruments”, and has since modified the standard with several ASUs (collectively, the “new credit loss standard”). The new credit loss standard requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The ~~ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods, beginning after~~company adopted the new standard as of December ~~15, 2019. The company is in~~29, 2019 (first day of fiscal year 2020) using the ~~process~~modified retrospective approach. As a result of ~~assessing~~ the ~~impact~~company's assessment process on its receivables and contract assets portfolio, ~~control environment and impact~~which is the only financial instrument in scope of this standard, the adoption of this ~~ASU will~~guidance did not have a material impact on the company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The amendments in ASU-04 simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, by removing the second step of the goodwill impairment test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. ~~This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for testing dates after January 1, 2017.~~ The company ~~is evaluating the application~~adopted this guidance on December 29, 2019 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ~~ASU~~guidance did not have an impact on the company's ~~annual impairment test. The company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its~~ Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement". The amendments in ASU-13 remove, modify and add various disclosure requirements around ~~the topic~~fair value measurement in order to clarify and improve the cost-benefit nature of disclosures. ~~This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods with those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted.~~ The company ~~does not expect the~~adopted this guidance on December 29, 2019 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ~~ASU to~~guidance did not have ~~a material~~an impact on ~~its~~the company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)". The amendments in ASU-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a service contract hosting arrangement with those of developing or obtaining internal-use software. The company adopted this guidance on December 29, 2019 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Pronouncements - To be adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20)". The amendments in ASU-14 remove, modify and add various disclosure requirements around the topic in order to clarify and improve the cost-benefit nature of disclosures. This ~~ASU~~guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods ~~with~~within those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this ~~ASU~~guidance will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In ~~August 2018,~~December 2019, the FASB issued ASU ~~2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill~~2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)", which removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and ~~Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)". The amendments in ASU-15 align~~ the ~~requirements~~recognition of deferred tax liabilities for ~~capitalizing implementation costs in a service contract hosting arrangement with those~~outside basis differences. This guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of ~~developing or obtaining internal-use software.~~ASC 740. This ~~ASU~~guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods ~~with~~within those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, ~~2019~~2020 with early adoption permitted. Certain amendments in this update must be applied on a prospective basis, certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective basis, and certain amendments must be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The company ~~does not expect~~is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this ~~ASU to~~guidance will have ~~a material impact~~ on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In ~~November 2018,~~March 2020, the FASB issued ASU ~~No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope~~2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the ~~credit losses standard, but rather, should be accounted~~Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting". Subject to meeting certain criteria, ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying contract modification accounting under existing generally accepted accounting principles, for ~~in accordance~~contracts that are modified to address the expected phase out of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) by the end of 2021. Some of the Company’s contracts with respect to its borrowings and interest rate swap contracts already contain comparable alternative reference rates that would automatically take effect upon the ~~lease standard.~~phasing out of LIBOR, while for others, the company anticipates negotiating comparable replacement rates with its counterparties. This ~~ASU~~guidance is effective for ~~annual reporting periods, and~~all entities from the beginning of an interim ~~periods with those reporting periods, beginning after~~period that includes the issuance date of the ASU. An entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December ~~15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for those that have adopted ASU No. 2016-13.~~31, 2022.

Contract assets primarily relate to the company's right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date and are recorded in prepaid expenses and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Accounts receivable are not considered contract assets under the revenue standard as contract assets are conditioned upon the company's future satisfaction of a performance obligation. Accounts receivable, in contracts, are unconditional rights to consideration.

Contract liabilities relate to advance consideration received from customers for which revenue has not been recognized. Current contract liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Non-current contract liabilities are recorded in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities are reduced when the associated revenue from the contract is recognized.

The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands):

During the six months period ended June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the company reclassified ~~$7.1~~$9.5 million to receivables, which was included in the contract asset balance at the beginning of the period. During the six months period ended June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the company recognized revenue of ~~$50.4~~$47.1 million which was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. Additions to contract liabilities representing amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date were ~~$52.9~~$66.5 million during the six months period ended June ~~29, 2019.~~27, 2020. The increase in contract liabilities primarily relates to companies acquired during the six months period ended June 27, 2020. Substantially, all of the company's outstanding performance obligations will be satisfied within 12 to 36 months. There were no0 contract asset impairments during the six months period ended June ~~29, 2019.~~27, 2020.

The company continues to monitor the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic to assess the outlook for demand of its products and the impact on its business and financial performance. The potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on demand, production levels, and its operating results in the short-term is uncertain, but the company remains committed to the strategic actions necessary to realize long-term revenue and cash flow growth rates. The potential negative demand effect on revenues is also uncertain given the volatile environment, but demand and production levels are anticipated to recover.

As a result of the company's analysis, and in consideration of the totality of events and circumstances, there were no triggering events requiring an interim goodwill impairment assessment identified during the six months period ended June 27, 2020.

Additionally, for the assessment of indefinite-life intangible assets other than goodwill, primarily trademarks and trade names, the company identified several trademarks and trade names with indicators of potential risk for impairment and performed quantitative assessments. The fair values of the trademarks tested exceeded their carrying values by more than 10%. As a result, 0 impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were recorded during the six months period ended June 27, 2020.

Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

The aggregate intangible amortization expense was ~~$14.7~~$17.6 million and ~~$9.8~~$14.7 million for the ~~second quarter periods~~three months period ended June ~~29, 2019~~27, 2020 and June ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, respectively. The aggregate intangible amortization expense was ~~$30.8~~$34.5 million and ~~$21.3~~$30.8 million for the six months period ended June ~~29, 2019~~27, 2020 and June ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):

10) Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands):

In the normal course of business, the company issues product warranties for specific product lines and provides for the estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recorded. The estimate of warranty cost is based on contract terms and historical warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, actual claims costs may differ from amounts provided. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties are made as changes in the obligations become reasonably estimable.

On ~~July 28, 2016,~~January 31, 2020, the company entered into an amended and restated five-year, ~~$2.5~~$3.5 billion multi-currency senior secured ~~revolving~~ credit agreement (the "Credit Facility"). ~~On December 18, 2018, the company entered into an amendment to the~~The Credit Facility ~~increasing~~amends the ~~revolving commitments under the~~company's pre-existing $3.0 billion credit facility, which had an original maturity of July 2021. The Credit Facility ~~by $500.0~~consists of (i) a $750.0 million term loan facility and (ii) a $2.75 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility, with the potential under certain circumstances, to increase the amount of the credit facility to up to a total of ~~$3.0 billion.~~ $4.0 billion (plus additional amounts, subject to compliance with a senior secured net leverage ratio). The Credit Facility matures on January 31, 2025. The term loan facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments due on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the first full fiscal quarter after January 31, 2020, in an aggregate annual amount equal to 2.50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the term loan facility, with the balance, plus any accrued interest, due and payable on January 31, 2025.

As of June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the company had ~~$2.0~~$2.4 billion of borrowings outstanding under the ~~Credit Facility,~~revolving credit facility, including ~~$1.9~~$1.6 billion of borrowings in U.S. Dollars, ~~and $64.5~~$52.0 million of borrowings denominated in ~~Euro.~~British Pounds, and $750.0 million outstanding under the term loan. The company also had ~~$11.0~~$13.6 million in outstanding letters of credit as of June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, which reduces the borrowing availability under the Credit Facility. Remaining borrowing availability under this facility was ~~$1.0~~$1.1 billion at June ~~29, 2019.~~27, 2020.

At June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, borrowings under the Credit Facility accrued interest at a rate of 1.625% above LIBOR per annum or 0.625% above the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and one month LIBOR plus 1.00%. The average interest rate per annum, inclusive of hedging instruments, on the debt under the Credit Facility was equal to ~~3.93%~~2.98% at the end of the period. The interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility may be adjusted quarterly based on the company’s Funded Debt less Unrestricted Cash to Pro Forma EBITDA (the “Leverage Ratio”) on a rolling four-quarter basis. Additionally, a commitment fee based upon the Leverage Ratio is charged on the unused portion of the commitments under the Credit Facility. This variable commitment fee was equal to 0.25% per annum as of June ~~29, 2019.~~27, 2020.

The term loan facility had an average interest rate per annum, inclusive of hedging instruments, of 2.05% as of June 27, 2020.

In addition, the company has other international credit facilities to fund working capital needs outside the United States and the United Kingdom. At June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, these foreign credit facilities amounted to ~~$4.5~~$5.8 million in U.S. Dollars with a weighted average per annum interest rate of approximately ~~6.45%~~6.26%.

The company’s debt is reflected on the balance sheet at cost. The company believes its interest rate margins on its existing debt are consistent with current market conditions and therefore the carrying value of debt reflects the fair value. The interest rate margin is based on the company's Leverage Ratio.

The company estimated the fair value of its loans by calculating the upfront cash payment a market participant would require to assume the company’s obligations. The upfront cash payment is the amount that a market participant would be able to lend to achieve sufficient cash inflows to cover the cash outflows under the company’s senior secured revolving credit facility assuming the facility was outstanding in its entirety until maturity. Since the company maintains its borrowings under a revolving credit facility and there is no predetermined borrowing or repayment schedule, for purposes of this calculation the company calculated the fair value of its obligations assuming the current amount of debt at the end of the period was outstanding until the maturity of the ~~company’s~~ Credit Facility in ~~July 2021.~~January 2025. Although borrowings could be materially greater or less than the current amount of borrowings outstanding at the end of the period, it is not practical to estimate the amounts that may be outstanding during future periods. The carrying value and estimated aggregate fair value, a level 2 measurement, based primarily on market prices, of debt is as follows (in thousands):

The company uses floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge variable interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility. At June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the company had outstanding floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps totaling $51.0 million notional amount carrying an average interest rate of 1.27% maturing in less than 12 months and ~~$948.0~~$1,062.0 million notional amount carrying an average interest rate of ~~2.22%~~2.02% that mature in more than 12 months but less than 7284 months.

The company believes that its current capital resources, including cash and cash equivalents, cash expected to be generated from operations, funds available from its current lenders and access to the credit and capital markets will be sufficient to finance its operations, debt service obligations, capital expenditures, product development and expenditures for the foreseeable future.

The terms of the Credit Facility limit the ability of the company and its subsidiaries to, with certain exceptions: incur indebtedness; grant liens; engage in certain mergers, consolidations, acquisitions and dispositions; make restricted payments; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and requires, among other things, the company to satisfy certain financial covenants: (i) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a maximum Leverage Ratio of Funded Debt less Unrestricted Cash to Pro Forma ~~EBIDTA~~EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Facility) of ~~3.50~~4.00 to 1.00, which may be adjusted to ~~4.00~~4.50 to 1.00 for a four consecutive fiscal quarter period in connection with certain qualified acquisitions, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Middleby Marshall, the company and the company's domestic subsidiaries and is unconditionally guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, the company and certain of the company's direct and indirect material foreign and domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Facility contains certain customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make required payments; bankruptcy and other insolvency events; the failure to perform certain covenants; the material breach of a representation or warranty; non-payment of certain other indebtedness; the entry of undischarged judgments against the company or any subsidiary for the payment of material uninsured amounts; the invalidity of the company guarantee or any subsidiary guaranty; and a change of control of the company. At June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the company was in compliance with all covenants pursuant to its borrowing agreements.

The company has run various scenarios to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to believe that its future cash generated from operations, together with its capacity under its Credit Facility and its cash on hand, will provide adequate resources to meet its working capital needs and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. The company expects to be in compliance with the financial covenants in its Credit Facility; however, given the uncertainty of conditions for the remainder of 2020, the company will aggressively monitor and assess whether compliance is at substantial risk and may warrant further actions with banking partners. The company believes any necessary actions would result in the ability to achieve subsequent compliance and avoidance of default under its borrowing agreements.


~~13)~~	~~Financial Instruments~~

13) Financial Instruments

ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify as a hedge must be adjusted to fair value in earnings. If a derivative does qualify as a hedge under ASC 815, changes in the fair value will either be offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments or recognized in other accumulated comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

On December 30, 2018, the company adopted the new accounting standard ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" using the modified retrospective method. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-12, the ineffective portion of a hedge's change in fair value was recognized in earnings. Upon adoption of ASU 2017-12, the company no longer recognizes hedge ineffectiveness in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, but instead recognizes the entire change in the fair value of the hedge contract in other accumulated comprehensive income.

Foreign Exchange: The company uses foreign currency forward, foreign exchange swaps and option purchase and sales contracts to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company’s primary hedging activities are to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange rates on intercompany and third party trade receivables and payables. The company does not currently enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. In managing its foreign currency exposures, the company identifies and aggregates naturally occurring offsetting positions and then hedges residual balance sheet exposures. The fair value of the forward and option contracts was a loss of ~~$0.6~~$1.0 million at the end of the second quarter of ~~2019.~~2020.

Interest Rate: The company has entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of its variable-rate debt. The agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. The company has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the fair value of these instruments was a liability of ~~$22.2 million~~.$61.4 million. The change in fair value of these swap agreements in the first six months of ~~2019~~2020 was a loss of ~~$23.3~~$27.9 million,, net of taxes.

Interest rate swaps are subject to default risk to the extent the counterparties are unable to satisfy their settlement obligations under the interest rate swap agreements. The company reviews the credit profile of the financial institutions that are counterparties to such swap agreements and assesses their creditworthiness prior to entering into the interest rate swap agreements and throughout the term. The interest rate swap agreements typically contain provisions that allow the counterparty to require early settlement in the event that the company becomes insolvent or is unable to maintain compliance with its covenants under its existing debt agreements.


~~14)~~	~~Leases~~

~~Accounting Policy~~

~~On December 30, 2018, the company adopted the new accounting standard ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases"~~(ASC 842) using the modified retrospective method and elected to use the effective date as the date of initial application on transition. The company has elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs.14) Segment Information

The adoption of ASC 842 represents a change in accounting principle that changes the way all leases with a duration of one year or more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees are required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or operating lease liability. The company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. Additionally, the guidance requires additional disclosure to enable users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The most material impact of the new standard is the recognition of new right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for operating leases. Operating lease ROU assets are included in other assets and operating lease liabilities are included accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities. The lease liabilities are measured based upon the present value of minimum future payments and the ROU assets to be recognized will be equal to lease liabilities, adjusted for prepaid and accrued rent balances.

~~Leases~~

The company leases warehouse space, office facilities and equipment under operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The company's lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The company has operating lease costs of $7.8 million and $15.3 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively, including short-term lease expense and variable lease costs, which were immaterial in the quarter.

The company cautions readers that these projections are based upon future results or events and are highly dependent upon a variety of important factors which could cause such results or events to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this report, or which are otherwise made by or on behalf of the company. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and the response of governments, businesses and other third parties; volatility in earnings resulting from goodwill impairment losses which may occur irregularly and in varying amounts; variability in financing costs; quarterly variations in operating results; dependence on key customers; international exposure; foreign exchange and political risks affecting international sales; ability to protect trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property; changing market conditions; the impact of competitive products and pricing; the timely development and market acceptance of the company’s products; the availability and cost of raw materials; and other risks detailed herein and from time-to-time in the company’s SEC filings, including the company’s ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the six months period ended June 27, 2020, the company's business experienced significant disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

–Cost and Profitability Initiatives - Instituted aggressive reduction of all controllable and discretionary costs. This included the adjustment of global office and production workforces in response to near-term reduced demand levels and reduced cash compensation to executives. Increased focus on prioritizing product and customers with highest profitability.

–Supply Chain - Established a task force to identify and mitigate supply chain disruption and ensure continuity of business operations and customer support.

–Liquidity and Cash Flow - Reduced capital expenditures for the remainder of year, enhanced working capital reduction initiatives to drive inventory efficiency, deferred near-term acquisition investments and suspended the Middleby share repurchase program.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Part 1, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 4 - Recent Issued Accounting Standards.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, the company evaluates its estimates and judgments based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences could be material to ~~our~~the company's consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes in ~~our~~the company's critical accounting policies, which include revenue recognition, inventories, goodwill and other intangibles, pensions benefits, and income taxes, as discussed in ~~our~~the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~29, 2018 (our “2018~~28, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) other than those described below.

During the six months period ended June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the company adopted ~~ASC 842, "Leases"~~ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)". ~~See Part 1, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 14 - Leases for additional information on~~The amendments simplify the ~~required disclosures related to~~subsequent measurement of goodwill, by removing the ~~impact~~second step of ~~adopting this guidance.~~the goodwill impairment test. The company's qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment remains consistent; however, in the case of an impairment, the company will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

The company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. The following table summarizes the maturity of the company’s debt obligations:


Twelve Month Period coinciding with the end of the company's Fiscal Second Quarter			Twelve Month Period coinciding with the end of the company's Fiscal Second Quarter	Variable Rate Debt

Twelve Month Period coinciding with the end of our Fiscal Second Quarter	Variable Rate Debt

2020	$	3,443
2021	336		2021	$	23,971
2022	1,991,303		2022	19,144

The term loan facility had an average interest rate per annum, inclusive of hedging instruments, of 2.05% as of June 27, 2020.

The company uses floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge variable interest rate risk associated with the revolving credit line. At June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the company had outstanding floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps totaling $51.0 million notional amount carrying an average interest rate of 1.27% maturing in less than 12 months and ~~$948.0~~$1,062.0 million notional amount carrying an average interest rate of ~~2.22%~~2.02% that mature in more than 12 months but less than 7284 months.

The Credit Facility matures on ~~July 28, 2021,~~January 31, 2025, and accordingly has been classified as a long-term liability with a portion of the term loan facility classified as a short-term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

covenants: (i) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a maximum Leverage Ratio of Funded Debt less Unrestricted Cash to Pro Forma ~~EBIDTA~~EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Facility) of ~~3.50~~4.00 to 1.00, which may be adjusted to ~~4.00~~4.50 to 1.00 for a four consecutive fiscal quarter period in connection with certain qualified acquisitions, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Middleby Marshall, the company and the company's domestic subsidiaries and is unconditionally guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, the company and certain of the company's direct and indirect material foreign and domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Facility contains certain customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make required payments; bankruptcy and other insolvency events; the failure to perform certain covenants; the material breach of a representation or warranty; non-payment of certain other indebtedness; the entry of undischarged judgments against the company or any subsidiary for the payment of material uninsured amounts; the invalidity of the company guarantee or any subsidiary guaranty; and a change of control of the company. At June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the company was in compliance with all covenants pursuant to its borrowing agreements.

Financing Derivative Instruments

The company has entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of its variable-rate debt. The agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. The company has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the fair value of these instruments was a liability of ~~$22.2~~$61.4 million. The change in fair value of these swap agreements in the first six months of ~~2019~~2020 was a loss of ~~$23.3~~$27.9 million, net of taxes. The potential net loss on fair value for such instruments from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted interest rates would not have a material impact on the company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Foreign Exchange Derivative Financial Instruments

The company uses foreign currency forward, foreign exchange swaps and option purchase and sales contracts to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company’s primary hedging activities are to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange rates on intercompany and third party trade receivables and payables. The company does not currently enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. In managing its foreign currency exposures, the company identifies and aggregates naturally occurring offsetting positions and then hedges residual balance sheet exposures. The potential net loss on fair value for such instruments from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on the company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The fair value of the forward and option contracts was a loss of ~~$0.6~~$1.0 million at the end of the second quarter of ~~2019.~~2020.

The company accounts for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". In accordance with ASC 815, these instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. Changes in the market value and the related foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded in the statement of earnings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the company's Exchange Act reports 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 the company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, the company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the company's management, including the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of this period.

During the quarter ended June ~~29, 2019,~~27, 2020, there has been no change in the company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial reporting.
