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 Registration Statement (Registration

No. 333-257824)

on Form

S-1.

Our future results could be affected by a variety of other factors, including uncertainty of the magnitude, duration, geographic reach, impact on the global economy and current and potential travel restrictions of

the COVID-19 outbreak,

the current, and uncertain future, impact of

the COVID-19 outbreak

on our business, growth, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results (including components of our financial results), and cash flows and liquidity, 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; and business disruption or other losses from war, pandemic, terrorist acts or political unrest.

The risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement (Registration

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

(in thousands, except unit and share data)

1. Organization

Weber Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on April 1, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of completing a public offering and related transactions in order to carry on the business of Weber HoldCo LLC and its subsidiaries (“Topco LLC”). As the manager of Topco LLC, the Company is expected to operate and control all of the business and affairs of Topco LLC, and through Topco LLC, continue to conduct the business now conducted by these subsidiaries.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statement has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Separate statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholder’s equity, and cash flows have not been presented because there have been no activities in this entity as of June 30, 2021.

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.

3. Common Stock

On April 1, 2021, the Company was authorized to issue 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

4. Subsequent Events

In August 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and consummated the transactions outlined below. Following this offering, Weber Inc. became a holding company with its sole asset being a controlling equity interest in Weber HoldCo LLC; Weber-Stephen Products LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Weber HoldCo LLC. All of Weber-Stephen Products LLC’s outstanding equity interests prior to the IPO were owned by the following persons and entities, referred to as the

“Pre-IPO

LLC

Members”:

•

BDT WSP Holdings, LLC, an entity controlled by BDT Capital Partners, LLC, the Company’s sponsor;

•

WSP Investment LLC, an entity held by the Stephen family;

•

Weber-Stephen Management Pool LLC, an entity held by current and former members of the Company’s management team and directors; and

•

certain other historical equityholders.

The Reorganization Transactions

Reorganization

In connection with the closing of the IPO, the following Reorganization Transactions were consummated:

•

Weber Merger Sub, LLC (“Weber Merger Sub”), a subsidiary of Weber Inc. formed in April 2021, merged with and into BDT WSP Blocker, LLC (“Blocker”), an entity controlled by BDT Capital Partners, LLC, our sponsor, with Blocker surviving the merger. As a result, (i) the Blocker equityholders received Class A common stock of Weber Inc. in exchange for their equity interests in Blocker, (ii) the nominal shares of Weber Inc. held by Weber-Stephen Products LLC were canceled for no consideration (because Weber Inc. was originally formed as a subsidiary of Weber-Stephen Products LLC) and (iii) Weber Inc. became wholly owned by the former Blocker equityholders;

Table of Contents

WEBER INC.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

(in thousands, except unit and share data)

•

Blocker then merged with and into Weber Inc., with Weber Inc. surviving the merger. Weber Inc.’s certificate of incorporation was amended to authorize the issuance of two classes of common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock, which we refer to collectively as our “common stock.” Each share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will entitle its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders;

•

WSP Merger Sub, a subsidiary of WSP Intermediate formed in April 2021, merged with and into Weber-Stephen Products LLC, with Weber-Stephen Products LLC surviving the merger. As a result, (i) the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members received

non-voting

common interest units (the “LLC Units”) in Weber HoldCo LLC in exchange for all of their equity interests in Weber-Stephen Products LLC, (ii) Weber-Stephen Management Pool LLC received LLC Units in exchange for all equity interest that it holds in Weber-Stephen Products LLC, and (iii) Weber-Stephen Products LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Weber HoldCo LLC;

•

an amended limited liability company operating agreement (“Amended LLC Agreement”) was adopted for Weber HoldCo LLC making Weber Inc. the sole managing member of Weber HoldCo LLC;

•

Pre-IPO

LLC Members were issued shares of Weber Inc.’s Class B common stock in an amount equal to the number of LLC Units held by each such

Pre-IPO

LLC Member;

•

Weber Inc. issued 17.9 million shares of its Class A common stock to the public pursuant to the IPO; and

•

Weber Inc. entered into a tax receivable agreement with the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members.

Exchange Mechanics

Under the Amended LLC Agreement, all current and future holders of LLC Units, including the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members, have the right, from and after the completion of the initial public offering, to require Weber HoldCo LLC to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for, at Weber Inc.’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 our Class A common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications) in accordance with the terms of the Amended LLC Agreement.

Consolidation

With the Reorganization Transactions and IPO executed, Weber Inc. now manages and operates the business and controls the strategic decisions and

day-to-day

operations of Weber HoldCo LLC and also has a substantial financial interest in Weber HoldCo LLC. As such, Weber Inc. will consolidate the financial results of Weber HoldCo LLC, and a portion of Weber Inc.’s net income will be allocated to noncontrolling interests to reflect the entitlement of the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members to a portion of Weber HoldCo LLC’s net income. In addition, because Weber HoldCo LLC is under the common control of BDT Capital Partners, LLC before and after the Reorganization Transactions, Weber Inc. accounted for the Reorganization Transactions as a reorganization of entities under common control and initially measured the interests of the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members in the assets and liabilities of Weber HoldCo LLC at their carrying amounts as of the date of the completion of the Reorganization Transactions.

Income Taxes and Tax Receivable Agreement

Weber Inc. entered into a tax receivable agreement that obligates Weber Inc. to make payments to the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members and any future party to the tax receivable agreement generally equal to the 85% of the applicable cash savings that Weber Inc. actually realize as a result of Weber Inc’s allocable share of certain existing tax basis in tangible and intangible assets related to certain transactions that resulted in a

step-up

in Weber HoldCo LLC’s tax basis, certain tax adjustments resulting from the purchase of LLC Units from the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members in connection with or after the IPO, future taxable redemptions or exchanges of LLC Units by the holders of LLC Units and from payments made under the tax receivable agreement. Weber Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of the tax savings.

WEBER INC.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

(in thousands, except unit and share data)

Stockholders Agreement

Weber Inc. and the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members entered into a stockholders agreement, which, among other things, provided that, for so long as the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members beneficially hold at least 10% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Weber Inc.’s common stock, approval by the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members will be required for certain corporate actions.

The IPO

In connection with the completion of the IPO, Weber Inc. issued 17.9 million shares of Class A common stock to the purchasers of the IPO. Weber Inc. used the net proceeds from the offering to acquire 17.9 million newly issued LLC Units from Weber HoldCo LLC at a price per LLC Unit equal to the IPO price of Weber Inc.’s Class A common stock minus underwriting discounts, which represented an aggregate purchase price of $237,500. The purchase of newly issued LLC Units collectively represented 6% of Weber HoldCo LLC’s outstanding LLC Units.

Weber HoldCo LLC used the proceeds from the sale of the LLC Units as follows: (i) to pay fees and expenses of approximately $17,368 in connection with the offering and the Reorganization Transactions, and (ii) to repay $220,132 of the outstanding borrowings under the Secured Credit Facility.

Greenshoe Shares

Subsequent to the IPO, the underwriters exercised the options granted to them to purchase additional shares of Weber Inc. A total of 2.7 million shares of Class A common stock was purchased. Weber Inc. used the net proceeds from the offering to acquire (i) 0.3 million shares of Class A common stock from Blocker equityholders, and (ii) 2.3 million of LLC Units from Weber HoldCo LLC, in each case, at a price per share and per LLC Unit equal to the IPO price of Weber Inc.’s Class A common stock, minus underwriting discounts, which represented an aggregate price of $35,625. Weber HoldCo LLC used the proceeds to buy back LLC Units from existing Weber HoldCo LLC unit holders.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except unit and share data)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Weber-Stephen Products LLC (“Weber” or the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”). In the opinion of management, the interim financial data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

Organization

The Company is primarily a manufactur

r and distributor of all forms and types of grills, including gas, charcoal, electric and pellet grills and related accessories, which are sold in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The effect of the change in the estimates will be recognized in the current period of the change.

Seasonality

Although the Company generally has demand for its products throughout the year, the Company’s sales have historically experienced some seasonality. The Company has typically experienced its highest level of sales of its products in the second and third fiscal quarters as retailers across North America and Europe changeover their floor sets, build inventory and fulfill consumer demand for outdoor cooking products. Sales are typically lower during the first and fourth fiscal quarters, with the exception of the Australia/New Zealand business which is counter seasonal to the balance of the business.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue transactions associated with the sale of grills and related accessories comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the transfer of products to customers at a point in time. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues relate to the sales of grills and accessories.

The Company satisfies the performance obligation and records revenues for grills and accessories when control has passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale. Transfer of control passes to customers at a point in time, that point in time generally being upon shipment or upon delivery of the performance obligation, depending on the written sales terms with the customer.

The Company’s purchase orders from customers for specific products represent its contracts and include all key terms and conditions related to the sale of products. For all sales, no significant uncertainty exists surrounding the customers’ obligation to pay for grills and accessories. Customers’ obligations to pay are generally under normal commercial terms, with payment terms typically being

30-60

days upon completion of the performance obligation. As payment terms are less than one year from the satisfaction of performance obligation, our sales do not include any significant financing components. Consideration promised in the Company’s contracts with certain customers is variable due to anticipated reductions, such as cash discounts and customer incentives (volume rebates and advertising programs). The transaction price is determined based upon the invoiced sales price, less anticipated reductions. The cost of these discounts and incentives are estimated at the inception of the contract based on the Company’s annual incentive programs with customers and recognized as a reduction to revenue at the time of sale. Subsequent adjustments to discounts or incentive programs are recognized to revenue in the period the adjustment is determinable.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except unit and share data)

The Company offers warranties on most of its products, which are considered assurance type warranties and, therefore, are not accounted for as a separate performance obligation.

The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost. Accordingly, all shipping and handling activity costs are recognized as Selling, general and administrative expenses at the time the related revenue is recognized. The Company recognized shipping and handling activity costs of $52,883 and $38,352 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $126,783 and $84,724 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handling are recorded in Net sales. Any taxes collected on behalf of government authorities are excluded from Net sales.

Accounts Receivable

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’s allowances are as follows:


Balance at September 30, 2020	$	3,262
Charges (credits) to the provision, net		325
Accounts written off, net of recoveries		(1,096	)

Balance at June 30, 2021	$	2,491


Balance at September 30, 2019	$	2,858
Charges (credits) to the provision, net		863
Accounts written off, net of recoveries		(160	)

Balance at June 30, 2020	$	3,561

Inventories

Inventories include finished products and

work-in-process

and materials associated with production and are valued at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) using the

first-in,

first-out

method. In evaluating net realizable value, appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive inventory levels, product deterioration and other factors.

The components of inventory are as follows:


	June 30, 2021 (unaudited)		September 30, 2020
Work-in-process and materials	$	48,041	$	33,343
Finished products		285,894		199,984

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Company determined that one of its manufacturing sites was considered to be assets held for sale, since the asset group was being marketed for sale and all the criteria to be classified as held for sale under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360,

Property, Plant and Equipment—Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

, had been met. The related buildings and its content were vacated and the Company no longer required these assets for its future operations. The carrying value of these assets was $8,297 as of September 30, 2020 and was recorded within Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell. On December 30, 2020, the Company disposed of this manufacturing site, for net cash proceeds of $13,540, which resulted in a gain of $5,185.

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.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the related debt. The carrying value of the deferred financing costs was $25,813 and $7,422 as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Deferred financing costs related to long-term debt are reflected as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the related debt. Amortization expense of deferred financing costs was $955 and $856 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $2,813 and $2,079 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was recorded in Interest expense.

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with

in-process

equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of an equity financing, these costs are recorded in members’ equity (deficit) as a reduction of equity generated as a result of the offering. Should the

in-process

equity financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company had $4,037 and $0 of deferred offering costs recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes

In the U.S., the Company, a limited liability company (LLC), is taxed as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company’s income is included in the members’ income tax returns. Accordingly, the Company generally is not subject to federal or certain state income taxes. The Company has operations that are subject to income and other similar taxes in foreign countries. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In accordance with ASC 740,

Income Taxes

, the Company evaluated the technical merits of its income tax positions and has established income tax reserves for uncertain tax positions for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021. See Note 8 for further information.

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in Income taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no significant interest or penalties related to uncertain income tax positions that were recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Derivative Instruments

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company used interest rate swap contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company also entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency denominated sales and the respective cash flows impacting Gross profit. 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. 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.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, 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.

Cash flows related to the settlement of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are classified within operating activities. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings.

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 nine months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020. The Company did not require, nor did it post, collateral or security on such contracts.

Business Combinations

The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. The Company continues to collect information and reevaluates these estimates and assumptions quarterly and records any adjustments to the Company’s preliminary estimates to goodwill provided that the Company is within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

In the event that the Company acquir

s an entity in which the Company previously held an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate, the difference between the fair value of the shares as of the date of the acquisition and the carrying value of the investment is recorded as a gain or loss and recorded within Loss (gain) from investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

Income (Loss) Per Unit

Basic income (loss) per unit is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common units during the period. Diluted income (loss) per unit is computed using the weighted- average number of outstanding common units and, when dilutive, potential common units outstanding during the period. For purposes of the diluted net income (loss) per unit calculation, common units issued in exchange for notes receivable with limited recourse provisions are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. See Note 15 for further information. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per unit attributable to common members is presented in conformity with the

two-class

method required for participating securities as vested awards under the Management Incentive Compensation Plan are considered to be participating securities. The

two-class

method determines net income (loss) per unit for common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed income (loss). The

two-class

method requires income (loss) available to common members for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to share in undistributed income (loss) as if all income (loss) for the period had been distributed.

Unit Based Compensation

As described within the Change in Accounting Principle section below, in anticipation of becoming a public company, the Company changed its methodology for valuing the profits interest units and Management Incentive Compensation Plan (“LTIP”) awards from the intrinsic value methodology to fair value during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Both the LTIP awards and the profits interest units are liability classified. The awards are

re-measured

to their fair values at each reporting date with changes in the fair value recognized in compensation expense until settlement or cancellation. Compensation expense associated with the awards is recognized over the service period of the awards based on the graded-vesting method. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

The value of the LTIP awards is based on achievement of performance metrics established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The value of the awards at the end of each reporting period is dependent upon the Company’s estimates of the underlying performance measures. As the units issued are based on performance metrics, the expense is adjusted for the ultimate number of units expected to be issued as of the end of each reporting period.

The fair value of the profits interest units is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s enterprise value as well as assumptions pertaining to several variables, including expected volatility, the expected term of the unit and the risk-free rate of interest. In the option-pricing model for the Company’s profits interest units, expected volatility is based on an analysis of reported data for a group of guideline publicly-traded companies. For this analysis, the Company selects companies with comparable characteristics including enterprise value, risk profiles, and with historical share price information sufficient to meet the expected life of the units. The Company determines expected volatility using an average of the historical volatilities of the guideline group of companies. The Company expects to continue to apply this process until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding volatility. The expected term of the unit is based on expected exercise patterns of unit holders and the risk-free rate of interest is based on U.S. Treasury yields.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs upon the first display of the advertisement and includes advertising expenses in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company incurred advertising expenses of $49,421 and $26,596 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $84,921 and $46,991 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $18,421 and $4,659 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $28,619 and $11,967 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Change in Accounting Principle

Profits interest units and LTIP awards historically were accounted for as liability compensatory awards under ASC 710,

Compensation—General

, and valued using the intrinsic value method, as permitted by ASC 718,

Compensation—Stock Compensation

, for nonpublic entities. In anticipation of becoming a public company, as defined in ASC 718, the Company changed its methodology for valuing the profits interest units and LTIP awards during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. While the profits interests units and LTIP awards will continue to be

re-measured

at each quarterly reporting date, the profits interests units and LTIP awards are required to be accounted for prospectively at fair value using a fair value pricing model, such as Black-Scholes. The effect of the change resulted in additional compensation

expense of

$44,207 and $67,296 during the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The effect of the change represents the difference in compensation costs measured using the intrinsic value method and the fair value method. The LTIP awards were not impacted by the change in valuation methods due to the nature of the grant terms and underlying calculation.

4. Acquisitions

June Acquisition

On January 12, 2021, the Company acquired all of the remaining outstanding stock of June Life, Inc. (“June”), a smart appliance and technology company. The purpose of the acquisition was primarily to advance consumer experiences through the use of embedded technology in its products and higher quality digital products.

The preliminary composition of the purchase price recorded for June was as follows:


Cash	$	108,285
Fair value of equity interest		24,144
Settlement of existing contractual relationship		9,776

Total	$	142,205

Prior to the acquisition, the Company held an existing equity interest in June, which was historically accounted for as an equity method investment. Upon completion of the merger agreement, June became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At the time of acquisition, the fair value of the existing equity interest totaled $24,144. See Note 5 for further details.

The June license and development agreement, discussed within Note 5, was deemed to be an existing contractual relationship. As a result of the business combination, the Company recorded this arrangement as consideration at its January 12, 2021 fair value, which resulted in an increase in goodwill of $9,776.

The results of operations for June have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of income since the acquisition date, which were not material. June operations are reflected within the Americas reportable segment. Actual and pro forma revenue and results of operations for the acquisition have not been presented because they do not have a material impact to the Company’s net sales and results of operations, either individually or in aggregate.

The June 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities of June, which have been measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, but the potential for measurement period adjustments exists based on the Company’s continuing review of matters related to the acquisition. The primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives, valuation of deferred taxes and residual goodwill. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

The preliminary allocation of purchase price recorded for June was as follows:


Cash	$	6,046
Inventory		480
Accounts receivable		85
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		617
Property and equipment		104
Intangibles		109,700
Goodwill		55,406
Accounts payable		(870	)
Accrued expenses		(3,954	)
Other long-term liabilities		(25,409	)

Total	$	142,205

The above fair values of assets acquired and liabilities are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the reporting date.

The goodwill of $

55,406

represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including an experienced workforce and expected future synergies. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

WEBER-STEPHEN PRODUCTS LLC

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except unit and share data)

The Company recognized $

25,409

of deferred tax liabilities due to the acquisition of June. The deferred tax liabilities have been recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The amounts, based on preliminary valuations and subject to final adjustment, allocated to intangible assets are as follows:


	Gross Carrying Amount
Trade names and trademarks	$	17,000
Developed software / patented technology		87,000
Non-competition / restrictive covenant agreements		5,700

Total	$	109,700


	Useful Lives
Trade names and trademarks		20.0
Developed software / patented technology		15.0
Non-competition / restrictive covenant agreements		3.0

Total weighted average useful life		15.2

Developed software/patented technology were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”). Intangible assets consisting of trade names and trademarks and

non-competition/

restrictive covenant agreements were valued using the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method and lost income method, respectively. In many cases, the determination of fair values required estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental and subject to change

As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized $1,187 of acquisition-related costs which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

RMC Acquisition

On April 1, 2021, the Company acquired all aspects of the operations of R McDonald Co. Pty. Ltd. (“RMC”), that supported the Company’s business units in Australia and New Zealand. This included certain fixed assets, members of the RMC workforce and their related employment liabilities and the reacquired right to sell and market the Company’s products. RMC, a marketing and distribution company, had historically provided operational and marketing support to operate the Weber Australia and Weber New Zealand businesses on behalf of the Company. The primary purpose of the acquisition was to

re-acquire

those operational and marketing rights.

The preliminary composition of the purchase price recorded for RMC was as follows:


Cash	$	26,275
Equity consideration issued by the Company (2,899 common units)		14,582

Total	$	40,857

Prior to the acquisition, the Company had a preexisting contractual agreement with RMC which provided RMC the exclusive rights to sell, market, and distribute barbecue grills and accessories in Australia and New Zealand. With the acquisition, the effective settlement of this agreement resulted in the Company reacquiring rights to sell, market, and distribute products in Australia and New Zealand. In addition, RMC had a contractual agreement to provide administrative support services to the Company’s Australian and New Zealand businesses, as well as a licensing agreement for RMC to use certain trademarks of the Company. The transaction resulted in no gain or loss as the contractual terms of these agreements were at market.

The results of operations for RMC have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of income since the acquisition date, which were not material. RMC operations are reflected within the Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) reportable segment. Actual and pro forma revenue and results of operations for the acquisition have not been presented because they do not have a material impact to the Company’s net sales and results of operations, either individually or in aggregate.

(In thousands, except unit and share data)

The June 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities of RMC, which have been measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, but the potential for measurement period adjustments exists based on the Company’s continuing review of matters related to the acquisition. The primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair value of the intangible asset acquired, valuation of deferred taxes and residual goodwill. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

The preliminary allocation of purchase price recorded for RMC was as follows:


Property and equipment	$	432
Reacquired rights		14,300
Goodwill		27,530
Accrued expenses		(1,405	)

Total	$	40,857

The above fair values of assets acquired and liabilities are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the reporting date.

The goodwill of $27,530 represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including an experienced workforce and expected future synergies. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The reacquired rights were valued using MPEEM. The useful life of the reacquired rights were estimated to be 3.3 years. The determination of fair values required estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental and subject to change.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized approximately $325 of acquisition-related costs which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

5.	Investments

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the Company executed an agreement with June to purchase $23,000 of June’s preferred stock and $1,269 of June’s common stock. The common stock investment represents 6% of the total outstanding common stock of June, and the total combined equity investment represents less than 20% of the voting interest in June.

The Company also entered into a license and development agreement with June to license certain software and other technology owned by June and adapt this technology to certain products of the Company. The license and development agreement includes provisions for the Company to pay June royalties at varying rates based on the quantities and type of product sold containing the licensed technology. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company had recorded prepaid royalties of $0 and $10,044, respectively. Upon the sale of products using the specified technology within the arrangement, the Company amortizes its prepaid royalty expenses into its operating results. Royalty expense of $0 and $471 was recognized under this agreement for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $268 and $1,574

for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

Prior to the acquisition of June, the Company determined it had significant influence over June due to the substantial impact of the license and development agreement on June’s operating results and cash flows. As a result, the Company has accounted for the common stock investment in June as an equity method investment and recorded its share of June’s earnings or losses. The Company computed the difference between the fair value of June’s net assets and the carrying value of those net assets in June’s financial statements (“basis differences”). The basis differences primarily related to the fair value of intangible assets. The basis differences were amortized over the remaining life of the assets or liabilities to which they relate and recognized as an adjustment to the equity in earnings of June in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

(In thousands, except unit and share data)

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an equity method loss of $0 and $778, respectively, and an equity method gain of $5,505 and an equity method loss of $3,556 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, with an offsetting reduction in its investment in June. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, June equity method losses were allocated to the preferred stock investment as the cost basis in the common stock investment had been reduced to zero during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The carrying value of the preferred stock investment in June was $18,639 as of September 30, 2020 and was recorded in Other long-term assets. As described in Note 4, on January 12, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining equity interest in June and fully consolidated the entity. At acquisition, the Company remeasured the fair value of its existing equity interest, which exceeded the carrying amount of the investment and resulted in a

pre-tax

gain of $6,910. The gain offset with the equity method loss of $1,405 was recorded within Loss (gain) from investments in unconsolidated affiliates during the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The Company calculated the fair value of its existing equity interest based on the per share prices paid to the sellers of common stock share and preferred stock on acquisition.

Secured Credit Facility

On October 30, 2020, the Company retired its existing senior credit facility (“Senior Facility”) and entered into a new credit facility (the “Secured Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions and investors. The Secured Credit Facility includes an initial term loan (“Term Loan”) of $1,250,000 and a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Loan”) with a maximum commitment of $300,000. The proceeds from the Term Loan were used, in part, to pay off the outstanding balance of $616,250 on the Senior Facility. Under the Secured Credit Facility, the Company’s U.S.-based assets, excluding real estate, are pledged as collateral, including its interests in certain foreign subsidiaries.

In connection with the Secured Credit Facility, the Company paid financing costs totaling $26,654, of which $25,154 related to the Term Loan and $1,500 related to the Revolving Loan, during the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The Term Loan costs included an original issue discount of $6,250. The financing costs and original issue discount were recorded as deferred financing costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the remaining lives of the respective borrowing.

(In thousands, except unit and share data)

Under extinguishment accounting, the Company recorded a $5,448 Loss from early extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of income, representing a

write-off

of unamortized deferred financing costs. This loss consisted of $4,173 related to the Senior Facility term loan and $1,275 related to Senior Facility revolving loan.

The Term Loan matures on October 30, 2027. Principal payments on the Term Loan commenced on March 31, 2021, and are payable quarterly at scheduled amounts, with the balance due at maturity. At the Company’s option, the Term Loan interest rate is based on either (i) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for the relevant interest period, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (subject to a floor of 0.75%), 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 June 30, 2021, the interest rate on the Term Loan was LIBOR plus 3.25%. Interest is payable on the last business day of the month for the relevant interest period selected.

The Revolving Loan matures on October 30, 2025, and it provides for borrowings of a maximum commitment of $300,000 and up to $30,000 for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit. The Revolving Loan also provides for $25,000 for swingline loans and no

sub-limit

for multicurrency borrowings that reduce the amount of available borrowings. The proceeds of any borrowings made under the Revolving Loan can be used to finance working capital needs, member distributions, acquisitions, capital expenditures and for other general purposes. As of June 30, 2021, the Revolving Loan had borrowings outstanding of $0 and letters of credit issued of $6,386, leaving $293,614 of available borrowing capacity. Commitment fees are based on the unused portion of the Revolving Loan at a rate of 0.30%, which can fluctuate based on the average leverage ratio

Borrowings under the Revolving Loan bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR for the relevant interest period, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum), 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. The applicable margin can fluctuate based on the average leverage ratio, as defined in the Secured Credit Facility. Interest is payable in March, June, September and December during the term of the agreement on the last business day of the calendar quarter. There were no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Loan as of June 30, 2021.

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 June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Senior Facility

Prior to the retirement of the Senior Facility described above, borrowings under the Senior Facility’s revolving line of credit bore interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either: (i) LIBOR for the relevant currency borrowed, plus an applicable margin; or (ii) a base determined by reference to the highest of: (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, or (c) the LIBOR applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%, plus an applicable margin. As of September 30, 2020, the interest rate on the term loan under the Senior Facility was LIBOR plus 2.25%. There were no outstanding borrowings on the revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2020.

7.	Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating variable interest rates under the Senior Facility and the Secured Credit Facility on Interest expense 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 income (loss). The gains or losses on the interest rate swaps reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in members’ equity are reclassified into Interest expense in the periods in which the monthly interest settlement is paid on the interest rate swap.

See Note 11 for further information.

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


	June 30, 2021 (unaudited)		September 30, 2020
Interest rate swap contracts	$	1,220,000	$	410,000

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) $360,000 of the interest rate swaps were

de-designated

as cash flow hedges, (ii) the Company entered into a $360,000

pay-variable

received-fixed interest rate swap which was designed to economically offset the terms of the $360,000 of swaps in (i) and which are not designated as cash flow hedges, and (iii) the Company entered into a $500,000 new

pay-fixed

interest rate swap with an extended maturity. The new

pay-fixed

interest rate swaps 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 $360,000 in interest rate swaps, there was approximately $38,249 of unrealized losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). This amount will be 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 $360,000 of interest rate swaps

de-designated

as cash flows hedges and the $360,000 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 new

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 new $500,000 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.

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. 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 income (loss). The gains or losses on the forward contracts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in members’ equity 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.

11. 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 June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, 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 foreign currency forward contracts held with financial institutions as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, classified as Level 2 financial instruments, which are valued using observable forward foreign exchange rates at the reporting date.

The Company had commodity index contracts held with financial institutions as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, 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 June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, classified as a Level 3 instrument, in conjunction with its fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 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 9 for further details.

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for variable rate, revolving loan facilities also approximate fair values. The fair value of the fixed rate debt is not readily determinable, because the information is not available.

12. Management Incentive Compensation Plan

Since the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Company has issued individual Management Incentive Compensation Plan (“LTIP” or the “Plan”) agreements. The Plan authorizes the grant of awards to certain key officers or employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. These awards (the “Awards”) each represent a contractual right to payment of compensation in the future based on a calculated value as defined in the Plan.

The Awards are not units of the Company’s common stock, and a recipient of the Awards does not receive any ownership interest in the Company, member voting rights, or other incidents of ownership.

A total of $2,928 and $1,015 was paid out under the Plan during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Under the Plan, participants holding vested awards are entitled to receive cash payments on a pro rata basis in relation to any payments made to the holders of the Company’s common units paid in a general distribution. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 participants received cash payments of $313 in conjunction with the payment of general distributions. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, participants received no cash payments as a result of a general distribution.

The Company had actual forfeitures in the amount of $244 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $244 and $0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company recorded additional compensation expense, due to an increase in the value of the awards, of $3,408 and $975 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $5,422 and $1,725 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The total liability related to the Plan was $9,202 and $7,021 as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The current portion of this liability is $216 and $2,851 as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and is included in Accrued expenses to reflect the expected payout of these Awards during the next twelve months. The remaining liability is included in Other long-term liabilities. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not yet recognized compensation cost on unvested awards of $7,902, with a weighted average remaining recognition period of 1.85 years.

13. Profits Interest Plan (amounts in thousands, except unit and per unit data)

The Company grants 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. The profits interest units generally vest in three concurring installment periods of one to five years, in each case subject to the applicable holder’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date, provided that upon a termination for cause or a breach of restrictive covenants, all profits interest units held by the applicable holder will be forfeited. Profits interest units do not carry any voting rights, cannot be converted into common units and are settled in cash upon a liquidation event or a unitholder’s departure from the Company. As such, they are liability classified and the liability is measured at fair value each reporting period.

In April 2021, the Company granted additional profits interest units to employees. In addition to the vesting terms outlined within this footnote, a portion of the new grants vest based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance objectives associated with net sales. Expense associated with these awards will be recognized over the applicable vesting period if it is deemed probable that the performance conditions will be met at the end of each reporting period.

The profits interest units are granted in three separate tranches, each of which is subject to a different distribution threshold. The tranches are subject to distribution thresholds that exceed the implied equity value of the Company at the time of grant, which were established in order to incentivize higher levels of performance. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company amended the profits interest plan to include an antidilution provision which resulted in a decrease to the distribution thresholds under each tranche. As the profits interest are liability classified, they were remeasured at fair value at the end of the reporting period using the updated distribution thresholds post modification. Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2021, one third of the profits interest units had a distribution threshold of $2,000,000, one third of the profits interest units had a distribution threshold of $2,500,000, and one third of the profits interest units had a distribution threshold of $3,000,000. Subsequent to the April 2021 grants and plan amendment, the profits interest units and their corresponding distribution thresholds were as follows as of June 30, 2021:


Distribution Threshold	Units Outstanding
$ 1,550,000 – 1,700,000		8,213
$ 2,000,000 – 2,200,000		8,213
$ 2,450,000 – 2,650,000		16,595
$ 2,800,000 – 2,900,000		2,350

Total		35,371

The weighted average distribution threshold for units outstanding as of June 30, 2021 was $3,902 per unit. The profits interest units do not require the payment of an exercise price, but since they are economically similar to stock options they are treated as an instrument with an option like feature.

The following tables summarize the Company’s profits interest units activity:


	Units Outstanding
Balance as of September 30, 2020		24,638
Units granted		10,733

The aggregate

intrinsic value of all units outstanding was $

and $

as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

The associated liability and unit based compensation for units granted under the Profits Interest Plan is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 1 for discussion of the change in accounting principle regarding the valuation of the profits interest units. The units are liability classified and are revalued each reporting period. The weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the profits interest units, which were outstanding as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:


Fair value per unit	$	3,853
Expected term (in years)		1.53
Risk-free interest rate		0.07-0.67	%
Expected volatility		37.4	%
Expected dividend yield		—	%

The fair value of vested units as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 was $15,873 and $0, respectively. The total fair

value

of outstanding units as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 was $136,270 and $0, respectively, of which $53,795 and $83,830

was recognized as compensation expense within Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and is included in Other long-term liabilities. As of June 30, 2021, there was $

52,440 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to

non-vested

profits interest units. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

14. Segments

The Company has three operating segments, Americas, which consists of Canada, Chile, Mexico and the United States; the European, Middle East and African regions (“EMEA”); and the Asia-Pacific region (“APAC”), which includes Australia and New Zealand. 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 condensed 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 income from operations as the key segment measure of performance. Adjusted income from operations is defined as income from operations adjusted for unallocated net expenses,

non-cash

stock compensation / LTIP and profits interest expense, impairment costs, and gain on disposal of assets held for sale. Adjusted income from operations excludes interest income, interest expense, loss from early extinguishment of debt, income taxes, and loss (gain) from investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

16. Member Notes

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, certain employees of the Company purchased common units in exchange for a capital contribution of $14,733 and $500, respectively. In conjunction with the units purchased, the Company entered into notes receivable with certain individuals during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 with face values of $11,776 and $375, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, $10,479 and $7,295 of the issued member notes receivable, respectively, limit the recourse provisions of the Company to 50% should the value of the common units not be sufficient to satisfy the repayment of the member notes. In accordance with ASC 718, these member notes are accounted for as nonrecourse in their entirety as the limited recourse provisions of the member notes are not aligned with a corresponding percentage of the underlying common units. Therefore, the member notes are accounted for as if they were a stock option grant and no receivable for amounts due under the notes are recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. As there is no requisite service period associated with the notes, unit based compensation expense related to this award is being recognized upon issuance of the note based on the grant-date fair value of the award, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Unit based compensation recognized in relation to the notes amounted to $4,511 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $4,941 and $142 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company received $

9,138

and $

from certain borrowers of member notes to pay down the outstanding balance of partial recourse member notes during the

nine

months ended June

2021

, and June

2020

, respectively. As partial recourse notes are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the paydown of the partial recourse notes was accounted for as a capital contribution.

All member notes bear interest at 2% to 4% per annum, dependent upon the specific rate terms in the notes. Interest on member notes is compounded annually. Interest on full recourse member notes is recognized in Interest income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Interest on partial recourse member notes will be recognized in members’ equity as cash payments are made to the Company.

The total amount due from members on the notes receivable, including interest, was $11,221 and $9,284 as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The notes receivable and the related accrued interest for full recourse notes of $741 and $1,483 as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, are reflected as reductions of members’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of changes in members’ equity (deficit). The notes receivable outstanding and the related accrued interest for partial recourse notes are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as they are accounted for as nonrecourse in their entirety. They will be recognized in members’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of changes in members’ equity (deficit) when cash payments on these notes receivable and related accrued interest are made to the Company.

Effective January 1, 2015, the individuals holding these member notes, along with other individuals, assigned their common units of the Company to Weber-Stephen Management Pool LLC (“MPLLC”). The sole purpose of MPLLC is to hold such common units. As a result of this transaction, the relative ownership interests in the Company held by those individuals did not change and the member notes remain as due to the Company. Common unit purchases during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were transacted through MPLLC.

Exchange Mechanics

Under the Amended LLC Agreement, all current and future holders of LLC Units, including the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members, will have the right, from and after the completion of the offering, to require Weber HoldCo LLC to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for, at Weber Inc.’s election, newly issued shares of Class A common stock on a

one-for-one

Consolidation

With the Reorganization Transactions and IPO executed, Weber Inc. now manages and operates the business and controls the strategic decisions and

day-to-day

Pre-IPO

LLC Members in the assets and liabilities of Weber HoldCo LLC at their carrying amounts as of the date of the completion of the Reorganization Transactions.

Income Taxes and Tax Receivable Agreement

Weber Inc. entered into a tax receivable agreement that obligates Weber Inc. to make payments to the

Pre-IPO

step-up

in Weber HoldCo LLC’s tax basis, certain tax adjustments resulting from the purchase of LLC Units from the

Pre-IPO

Stockholders Agreement

Weber Inc. and the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members entered into a stockholders agreement, which, among other things, provided that, for so long as the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members beneficially hold at least 10% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Weber Inc.’s common stock, approval by the

Pre-IPO

LLC Members will be required for certain corporate actions.

The IPO

In connection with the completion of the IPO, Weber Inc. issued 17.9 million shares of Class A common stock to the purchasers of the IPO. Weber Inc. used the net proceeds from the offering to acquire 17.9 million newly issued LLC Units from Weber HoldCo LLC at a price per LLC Unit equal to the IPO price of Weber Inc.’s Class A common stock minus underwriting discounts, which represented an aggregate price of $237,500. The purchase of newly issued LLC Units collectively represented 6% of Weber HoldCo LLC’s outstanding LLC Units.

Weber HoldCo LLC used

the proceeds from the sale of the LLC Units to Weber Inc. as follows: (i) to pay fees and expenses of approximately $17,368 in connection with the offering and the Reorganization Transactions and (ii) to repay $220,132 of the outstanding borrowings under the Secured Credit Facility.

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 fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and 2021 are referred to herein as Fiscal Year 2020 and Fiscal Year 2021, respectively.

Our Company

Weber Inc. (“Weber,” “Company,” “we,” and “our”), together with its affiliates, is the leading outdoor cooking company with the strongest and most trusted brand in the global outdoor cooking market. Our founder George Stephen, Sr., established the outdoor cooking category when he invented the original charcoal grill nearly 70 years ago. In the decades since, we have built a loyal and global following of both grilling enthusiasts and barbeque professionals in backyards all around the world. We have continuously disrupted and led the outdoor cooking category, through a comprehensive and expanding product portfolio including traditional charcoal grills, gas grills, smokers, pellet and electric grills and recently our cutting-edge Weber Connect

™

technology-enabled grills. We believe we offer the most complete outdoor cooking portfolio globally, with our full range of premium products sold in 78 countries in Fiscal Year 2020.

We believe Weber is the only outdoor cooking brand with global scale and a vertically integrated manufacturing platform. Our track record of premium product innovation and the strength of our brand has led to a market-leading share of 23% in the U.S. and 24% globally in 2020, according to Frost & Sullivan. We are leaders in the largest and most attractive markets in outdoor cooking, including the U.S., Germany, Australia, Canada and France. Beyond these markets, we estimate that we have either the number one or number two brand position in each of the key geographies we serve.

We have spent decades building brand affinity and awareness by teaching people how to grill the “Weber Way.” By consistently delivering high-performing, differentiated products and

best-in-class

customer service, we have built a global community of passionate brand loyalists who value our innovation, uncompromising quality and performance. Over the years, families have passed down their affinity for Weber from one generation to the next, forging a deep emotional connection between consumers and our brand. We continue to deepen our relationship with our consumers by bringing innovation to our grill and accessories portfolio, introducing breakthrough connected products, expanding into new categories and providing engaging brand experiences.

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 of our Registration Statement (Registration

No. 333-257824)

on Form

S-1

titled “Risk Factors.”

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.

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 changeover 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. A few examples are colder, wetter weather patterns during the key second and third fiscal quarters in North America and Europe, or drought conditions leading to wildfires similar to what Australia experienced in early Fiscal Year 2020.

Business Acquisitions

On January 12, 2021, Weber acquired all of the outstanding stock of June Life, Inc. (“June”), a smart appliance and technology company. The acquisition aligns with the Company’s strategy of revolutionizing the outdoor cooking experience through connected products, services and experiences that make grilling the perfect meal simple with our smartphone-enabled

step-by-step

cooking experience. Weber Connect, powered by June OS, is our award-winning smart cooking software solution developed with June. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and June was acquired for aggregate consideration of $142.2 million, including $108.3 million of cash. The results of operations for June have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of income since the acquisition date, which were not material. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with this acquisition were included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, which have been measured at fair value as of the acquisition date.

On April 1, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the operations of R. McDonald Co. Pty. Ltd. (“RMC”), a sales and marketing company in Australia and New Zealand, for approximately $26.3 million in cash and $14.6 million in equity. The results of operations for RMC have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of income since the acquisition date, which were not material. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition were included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, which have been measured at fair value as of the acquisition date.

We remain open to synergistic acquisitions that enhance our product line, geographic reach, market share and operational capabilities.

Impact of

COVID-19

Since the onset of the

COVID-19

pandemic, we have focused on protecting our employees’ health and safety, meeting our customers’ needs as they navigate an uncertain financial and operating environment, working closely with our suppliers to protect our ongoing business operations and rapidly adjusting our short-, medium- and long-term operational plans to proactively and effectively respond to the current and potential future public health crises. While the

COVID-19

pandemic presents serious concerns for our business and operations, our employees and their families, our customers and our suppliers, we believe that we are adapting well to the wide-ranging changes that the global economy is currently undergoing. We remain confident in our business continuity strategy, our ability to produce and sell our products safely and in compliance with applicable laws and governmental orders and mandates, our robust and flexible supply chains and our financial flexibility even in the event of a potentially extended economic downturn. This discussion and analysis includes periods prior to the outbreak of the

COVID-19

pandemic. For further discussion of the steps we have taken to respond to and mitigate the effects of the

COVID-19

pandemic, see the section titled “Risk Factors” in our prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relating to our Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-257824) on Form S-1, as amended, and filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act.

We are fully operational as we abide by local

COVID-19

safety regulations across the world. To achieve this, we have many employees working remotely and have adopted significant protective measures for our employees on site, including staggered shifts, social distancing and hygiene best practices recommended by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”) and local public health officials. In addition, we have taken additional steps to monitor and strengthen our supply chain to maintain an uninterrupted supply of our products.

Although we have implemented measures to mitigate the impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic on our business, these measures may not be fully effective. We cannot predict the degree to, or the period over, which we will be affected by the pandemic and resulting governmental and other measures. The economic effects of the

COVID-19

pandemic could continue to affect demand for our products in the foreseeable future. As the

COVID-19

pandemic continues, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Prospectus.

The severity, magnitude and duration of the current

COVID-19

pandemic is uncertain and rapidly changing. We continue to actively monitor the pandemic including, infection and hospitalization rates, vaccination efforts, and related governmental actions such as expanded or reduced

stay-at

home orders, mask mandates, shutdowns, and social distancing guidelines. We will adjust our mitigation strategies as necessary to address any changing health, operational or financial risks that may arise. Since the onset of the pandemic, we have experienced a significant increase in demand for our grills and accessories. While this demand has moderated to some extent, we will continue to manage our production capacity during this period of volatility. 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.

Table of Contents

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, income from operations and net income.

Net Sales

We offer a broad range of products that consist of grills, accessories and consumables. We recognize product sales upon the transfer of products to customers at a point in time. Transfer of control passes to customers upon shipment or upon delivery depending upon the written sales terms with the customer. Sales are recorded net of related discounts, allowances and taxes to be submitted to third parties. Sales are impacted by product/geography/channel mix, pricing actions, foreign exchange fluctuations, promotions, competition and the spending habits of our consumers. Sales growth is primarily driven by new product launches, geographic expansion,

direct-to-consumer

initiatives,

point-of-sale

(“POS”) changes and expanding our customer base.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the cost of direct materials, labor, purchased finished products and components, inbound freight, packaging, warranty and depreciation and amortization. Cost of goods sold is recognized primarily using the

first-in

first-out

(“FIFO”) method of accounting for the inventory sold.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit is calculated by taking net sales less cost of goods sold. Gross profit is generally impacted by purchased finished product and component costs, material/commodity costs, labor economics, product pricing, product mix and changes in foreign currencies. Gross margin is defined as gross profit as a percentage of net sales.

Operating Expenses

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; cost of

non-cash

stock-based compensation; and general corporate infrastructure costs. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase to support our growth initiatives and as a result of operating as a public company, including additional costs to comply with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and stock exchanges; for legal and auditing services; for additional insurance; for investor relations activities; and for other administrative and professional services.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their useful lives in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350,

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other

, unless those lives are determined to be indefinite. Intangible amortization expense is primarily related to our trademarks, customer lists, patents,

in-process

research and development, developed technology, reacquired rights and

non-compete

agreements. As of June 30, 2021, the weighted average amortization period ranged from 2.6 years to 14.9 years.

Gain on Disposal of Assets Held for Sale

During Fiscal Year 2020, the Company determined that one of our manufacturing sites was considered to be assets held for sale, since the asset group was being marketed for sale and all the criteria to be classified as held for sale under ASC 360,

Property, Plant

and Equipment

, had been met. The related buildings and its content were vacated and we no longer required these assets for our future operations. The carrying value of these assets was $8.3 million as of September 30, 2020. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell. On December 30, 2020, we disposed of this manufacturing site, for net cash proceeds of $13.5 million, which resulted in a gain of $5.2 million.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss

The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are predominantly the respective local currencies. Foreign currency (gain) loss includes gains and losses on transactions conducted in foreign currencies other than the functional currency.

Interest Income

Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, as well as interest on member notes.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our borrowings, including our credit facilities (term loan and revolving facility), foreign currency revolving and overdraft facility and charges for limited standby letters of credit. Interest expense 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 expense resulting from a financing obligation under a sale-leaseback arrangement.

Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt

Under extinguishment accounting, the Company recorded a $5.4 million loss from early extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, of which $4.1 million related to the term loan of the Company’s senior credit facility and $1.3 million related to revolving credit facility of the senior credit facility, representing a

write-off

of unamortized deferred financing costs.

Income Taxes

Income taxes consist primarily of state and international taxes for jurisdictions in which we conduct business. The Company has operations that are subject to income and other similar taxes in foreign countries. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Weber’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if assessed, in income taxes.

Reportable Segments

We operate and manage our business in three reportable segments: Americas, which consists of Canada, Chile, Mexico and the United States; the European, Middle East and African regions (“EMEA”); and the Asia-Pacific region (“APAC”), which includes Australia and New Zealand. 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 14 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. All historic

non-GAAP

financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. 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 income from operations, adjusted net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Table of Contents

Adjusted Income from Operations and Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income is income from operations and net income adjusted for

non-cash

stock compensation / Management Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) and profits interest expense, business transformation costs, operational transformation costs, impairment costs, debt refinancing and IPO costs,

COVID-19

costs and gain on disposal of assets held for sale, and, in the case of adjusted net income, loss from early extinguishment of debt, net of the tax impact of such adjustments. Adjusted income from operations is also adjusted for foreign currency gain (loss). Adjusted income from operations excludes loss from early extinguishment of debt, interest expense, net, income taxes and loss (gain) from investments in unconsolidated affiliates. We use adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income 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 income from operations and adjusted net income 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 income before interest expense, net, income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and our Board of Directors 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, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other companies using similar measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for

non-cash

stock compensation / LTIP and profits interest expense, business transformation costs, operational transformation costs, debt refinancing and IPO costs,

COVID-19

operational costs, loss from early extinguishment of debt and gain on disposal of assets held for sale as shown below. 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 income, 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.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred a number of significant costs related to the global

COVID-19

pandemic. These

non-recurring

costs included plant shutdown costs, the impact of enhanced employee safety and social distancing protocols as well as overtime and expedited freight costs to fulfill significant unexpected demand increases driven by

stay-at-home

orders in many of our key markets. These costs have normalized in Fiscal Year 2021.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $108.1 million, or 19%, to $668.9 million from $560.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to strong demand for our outdoor cooking products in all regions. Fluctuation in foreign exchange rates also increased net sales by $39.3 million, particularly the Euro as compared to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 12%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased in the Americas by 8%, in EMEA by 35% and in APAC by 25%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $40.7 million, or 12%, to $369.8 million from $329.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increased sales volume, partially offset by productivity savings and a decline in

COVID-19

related costs.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $67.4 million, or 29%, to $299.1 million from $231.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Gross margin increased by 340 basis points to 44.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by higher sales, as well as favorable product mix, productivity initiatives and a decline in

COVID-19

related costs, all of which reduced costs of goods sold in 2021.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $127.4 million, or 98%, to $257.8 million from $130.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of net sales increased by 1,530 basis points to 38.5% during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs was primarily driven by higher unit based compensation expense of $60.4 million, increased advertising costs of $22.8 million to drive sales, higher corporate costs of $11.7 million as a result of increased investment to support our growth initiatives, distribution costs of $14.5 million associated with higher sales and IPO costs of $9.0 million.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $2.0 million, or 64%, to $5.2 million from $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in amortization of intangible assets was primarily driven by the amortization of assets related to the June and RMC acquisitions.

Foreign Currency (Gain)

The impact of foreign exchange resulted in a gain of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 relative to a gain of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to the foreign exchange rate impacts on transactions with Weber affiliates conducted in foreign currencies other than the US dollar.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was essentially flat as compared to the previous year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $7.4 million, or 68%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a higher term loan balance and higher interest rates on the term loan in Fiscal Year 2021 compared to the previous year.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased by $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the decrease in quarter-to-date income before taxes and a discrete benefit of $1.3 million due to the release of valuation allowances on our Germany deferred tax assets.

Loss from Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

No gain or loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as the Company had completed its acquisition of June in January 2021. The three months ended June 30, 2020 reflect a loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $0.8 million as a result of Weber recording its share of June’s losses.

Net Income

Net income decreased by $61.6 million, or 78%, to net income of $17.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from net income of $79.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by approximately $62 million of non-cash unit based compensation expense, primarily driven by valuation methodology changes as a result of the IPO.

Total Segment Net Sales.

Total segment net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $24.4 million, or 8%, to $339.4 million from $315.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to strong sales in Canada as

COVID-19

restrictions were loosened throughout the country and demand accelerated. Foreign exchange rates also trended favorably, contributing an additional $6.4 million of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by the Canadian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the $6.4 million favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, Americas net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 6%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Segment Adjusted Income from Operations.

Segment adjusted income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $8.9 million, or 13%, to $61.2 million from $70.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily attributed to increased investment in advertising of $6.3 million and higher distribution costs of $7.6 million on increased sales and elevated shipping costs; partially offset by sales growth in Fiscal Year 2021. The three months ended June 30, 2021 also includes $2.1 million of incremental selling, general and administrative expense resulting from the June acquisition.

The increase was attributable to widespread growth across most countries in the region as consumer demand for outdoor grilling continues to strengthen. Foreign exchange rates also trended favorably, contributing an additional $30.2 million of net sales, primarily driven by the Euro as compared to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the $30.2 million favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, EMEA net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 21%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Segment Adjusted Income from Operations.

Segment adjusted income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $28.9 million, or 36%, to $108.4 million from $79.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributed to the $79.1 million sales growth during the three months ended June 30, 2021. This was partially offset by higher investments in advertising of $16.5 million to drive sales and increased distribution costs of $3.9 million on higher sales.

APAC

Total segment net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $4.6 million, or 25%, to $22.8 million from $18.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to

growth in Asia, particularly in Japan and Korea. Foreign exchange rates also trended favorably, contributing an additional $2.7 million of net sales, primarily driven by the Australian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the $2.7 million favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, APAC net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 10%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Segment Adjusted Income from Operations.

Segment adjusted income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $1.5 million, or 43%, to $2.0 million from $3.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily attributed to investments in Asia of $1.5 million to support sales growth, increased advertising expense of $1.1 million and higher distribution costs of $0.5 million on the sales increase.

Net Sales

Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $475.0 million, or 41%, to $1,632.2 million from $1,157.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increased consumer demand for our outdoor cooking products and continued inventory restocking at our retail customers to keep pace with market trends. Fluctuation in foreign exchange rates also increased net sales by $73.6 million, particularly the Euro as compared to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the $73.6 million favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 35%, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased in the Americas by 37%, in EMEA by 42% and in APAC by 69% as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $225.0 million, or 33%, to $912.6 million from $687.5 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increased sales volume, partially offset by productivity measures undertaken and a decrease in

COVID-19

related costs during the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $250.0 million, or 53%, to $719.6 million from $469.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. Gross margin increased by 350 basis points to 44.1% during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by higher sales volumes, as well as favorable product mix, global productivity initiatives and a decrease in

COVID-19

related costs, all of which reduced cost of goods sold in 2021.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative costs for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $250.7 million, or 82%, to $555.7 million from $305.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of net sales increased by 760 basis points to 34.0% during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs was primarily driven by higher unit based compensation expense of $91.8 million, increased distribution costs of $42.1 million associated with higher sales volumes, higher advertising costs of $37.9 million to drive revenue, increased incentive compensation accruals of $18.2 million as a result of exceeding business targets, higher research and development costs and investment in corporate headcount of $15.3 million to support growth initiatives, debt refinancing and IPO costs of $12.7 million and additional commission costs of $6.9 million on higher revenue.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $2.0 million, or 20%, to $12.1 million from $10.0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in amortization of intangible assets was primarily driven by the amortization of assets related to the June and RMC acquisitions.

Gain on Disposal of Assets Held for Sale

During Fiscal Year 2020, we determined that one of our manufacturing sites was considered to be assets held for sale, since the asset group was being marketed for sale and all the criteria to be classified as held for sale under ASC 360 had been met. On December 30, 2020, we disposed of this manufacturing site for net cash proceeds of $13.5 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain on the disposal of assets held for sale for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 of $5.2 million. No gain or loss on the disposal of assets held for sale was recognized for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Foreign Currency Loss (Gain)

The impact of foreign exchange resulted in a gain of $3.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 relative to a loss of $4.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 due to the foreign exchange rate impacts on transactions with Weber affiliates conducted in foreign currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $0.3 million, or 33%, during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to changes in interest rates and in the balances of cash and cash equivalents.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $18.5 million, or 58%, during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the higher term loan balance in Fiscal Year 2021 following the debt refinancing in October 2021.

Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt

We recognized a loss from the early extinguishment of debt of $5.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and no gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt was recognized for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased by $7.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the increase in foreign income, taxed at local statutory rates, partially offset by a discrete benefit of $2.4 million due to the release of valuation allowances on our Germany, United Kingdom and South Africa deferred tax assets.

(Gain) Loss from Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We recorded a gain from investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $5.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and a loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $3.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The $5.5 million gain during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 is a result of a $6.9 million gain from the remeasurement of the existing equity interest in June to fair value at the time of acquisition, offset by a $1.4 million loss recorded for Weber’s share of June’s losses in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The $3.6 million loss during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 is a result of Weber recording its share of June’s losses.

Net Income

Net income decreased by $11.4 million, or 11%, to net income of $91.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 from net income of $103.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by approximately $94 million of non-cash unit based compensation expense, primarily driven by valuation methodology changes as a result of the IPO.

Total Segment Net Sales.

Total segment net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $241.7 million, or 37%, to $891.6 million from $649.9 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increased orders across all channels during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 as inventories were restocked following a strong fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2020, and customer reacted to the continuation of favorable outdoor/backyard cooking trends. Foreign exchange rates also trended favorably, contributing an additional $8.6 million of net sales during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by the Canadian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the $8.6 million favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, Americas net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 36%, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Segment Adjusted Income from Operations.

Segment adjusted income from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $39.2 million, or 28%, to $178.2 million from $139.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to $241.7 million sales growth during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, which was partially offset by $20.1 million of increased distribution costs on higher sales, $18.4 million of strategic investments in advertising and marketing to drive revenue, additional commission costs of $3.9 million on higher revenue and $2.8 million of incentive compensation due to exceeding business targets. Additionally, the nine months ended June 30, 2021 includes $5.5 million of incremental selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of the June acquisition.

Total Segment Net Sales.

Total segment net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $183.2 million, or 42%, to $618.0 million from $434.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to widespread growth across most countries in the region, as consumer demand for

at-home/outdoor

grilling products continued to strengthen. Foreign exchange rates also trended favorably, contributing an additional $54.0 million of net sales, primarily driven by the Euro as compared to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the $54.0 million favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, EMEA net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 30%, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Segment Adjusted Income from Operations.

Segment adjusted income from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $81.3 million, or 65%, to $206.5 million from $125.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to $183.2 million of sales growth during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, which was partially offset by $20.3 million of investments in advertising to drive sales and brand strength in the region and increased distribution expense of $10.2 million on increased sales.

Total segment net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $50.0 million, or 69%, to $122.5 million from $72.5 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in the Australia and New Zealand markets, driven by strong consumer demand in the nine months ended June 30, 2021. During the first half of fiscal year 2020, bush fires impacted the consumer’s opportunities to cook outdoors, which negatively impacted grill sales during that period. Foreign exchange rates also trended favorably, contributing an additional $10.9 million of net sales, primarily driven by the Australian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar. Excluding the $10.9 million favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, APAC net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 54%, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Segment Adjusted Income from Operations.

Segment adjusted income from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $13.2 million, or 84%, to $29.0 million from $15.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the $50.0 million sales growth to date, which was partially offset by higher distribution costs of $3.6 million on higher revenues, investments in advertising of $2.0 million to drive sales, additional commission expense of $2.8 million in Australia and New Zealand and $1.7 million of investment in Asia to support future growth.

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, payments to suppliers for goods and services and cash to be received for products sold to customers. Our working capital requirements fluctuate during the year, driven primarily by the seasonality of market demand and the timing of inventory manufacturing and purchases. 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.

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. 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 and money market accounts with major financial institutions in the United States and in countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate. As of June 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $146.5 million, and we had $293.6 million of borrowings available under the revolving facility.

Based on our growth plans, we believe our cash and cash equivalents position, net cash provided by operating activities and availability under our new credit facility will be adequate to finance our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and debt service. In the future, we may allocate additional capital towards strategic acquisitions. If cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our credit facility are not sufficient or available to meet our capital requirements, then we will be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future. There can be no assurance equity or debt financing will be available to us if we need it or, if available, the terms will be satisfactory to us.

Secured Credit Facility

On October 30, 2020, the Company entered into a new credit facility arrangement with a term loan of $1,250.0 million and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $300.0 million (the “Secured Credit Facility”). The term loan matures on October 30, 2027 and revolving facility matures by October 30, 2025. Proceeds from the term loan and revolving facility were used to pay off the Company’s prior credit agreement, effect a portion of a special dividend, engage in business acquisition and equity repurchase activities, pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing and for working capital and general corporate purposes. 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 June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $74.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 from $121.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $46.8 million or 39%. While the Company experienced higher operating results, this was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of normalizing inventory levels during the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, less favorable impacts from accounts payable balances driven by timing of payments further offset the favorable operating results as compared to the prior year period.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $155.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 from $16.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $138.8 million or 860%. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company acquired the June business for net cash payments of $102.2 million and the RMC business for cash payments of $26.3 million, for total cash payments of $128.5 million. Additionally, capital expenditures were $17.8 million higher in the nine months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the prior year period, primarily related to the Company’s implementation of a Global SAP/S4 HANA ERP platform, the setup of the new European manufacturing facility in Poland and enhancements to support product line redesigns in the U.S.

Cash Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $102.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $58.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. During the first quarter result of Fiscal Year 2021, the Company refinanced its debt, resulting in proceeds of $1,250.0 million, of which $616.6 million was used to the payoff the previous credit facility. The Company paid $26.7 million of costs associated with the debt refinancing and subsequently paid down $6.3 million on the term loan. Additionally, the Company paid member distributions of $315.6 million, repurchased certain members’ interests for cash payments of $188.9 million, paid interest rate swap settlement payments of $3.9 million and paid certain

IPO-related

costs of $2.3 million. These transactions were partially offset by proceeds of $13.1 million for issuance of capital. During the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2021, the Company borrowed and subsequently repaid $170.0 million under its revolving facility to facilitate i) the repurchase of LLC Unit Interests from WSP Investment LLC; and ii) to pay a dividend to Weber-Stephen Products LLC Unit Holders.

The prior year period reflects payments of $36.3 million on the Company’s previous term loan, payments of $18.0 million to acquire the Q Grill Trademark, member distribution payments of $10.2 million and costs of $3.2 million that were incurred in connection with refinancing the previous credit facility in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2020. These transactions were partially offset by net borrowings from the revolving credit facility of $10.6 million.

Other Information

As of June 30, 2021, $111.9 million of our $146.5 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 material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates disclosed in the Prospectus.

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

No. 333-257824),

filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.

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

There were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

In connection with the reorganization incident to the IPO, the Company issued 236,994,533 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), to the Pre-IPO LLC Members (each capitalized term in this Section II, Item 2 that is not otherwise defined shall be as defined in the S-1). The shares of Class B Common Stock were issued for nominal consideration in reliance on the exemption contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis that the transaction did not involve a public offering. The shares of Class B common stock were issued to a limited number of investors, all of which had sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to make them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment. No underwriters were involved in the issuance and sale of the shares of Class B Common Stock.

The number of shares of Class B Common Stock that were issued corresponds to the number of non-voting common interest units of Weber HoldCo LLC (“LLC Units”) issued to the Pre-IPO LLC Members. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Weber HoldCo LLC, each holder of LLC Units has the right to require Weber HoldCo LLC 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.

Use of Proceeds from our Initial Public Offering of Common Stock

On August 4, 2021, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-257824) was declared effective by the SEC in connection with the IPO. At the closing of the IPO on August 9, 2021, the Company sold 17,857,143 shares of Class A common stock, at an initial public offering price of $14.00 per share and received gross proceeds of $250.0 million, which resulted in net proceeds to us of $237.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $12.5 million and before fees and expenses incurred in connection with the IPO. The underwriters for the IPO were Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, J.P. Morgan, BMO Capital Markets, Citigroup, UBS Investment Bank, Wells Fargo Securities, KeyBanc Capital Markets, Academy Securities, Cabrera Capital Markets LLC, Siebert Williams Shank, and Telsey Advisory Group. The Company subsequently issued an additional 2,678,571 shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate pursuant to two exercises of the underwriters’ over-allotment option which settled on August 19, 2021 and August 27, 2021, which resulted in additional net proceeds to us of $35.6 million in the aggregate, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.9 million and before fees and expenses.

We used the net proceeds that we received from the IPO (i) to acquire 17,857,143 newly issued LLC Units from Weber HoldCo LLC, (ii) to acquire 2,349,314 LLC Units from certain Pre-IPO LLC Members and (iii) to repurchase 329,257 shares of the Class A common stock received by the Blocker equityholders in connection with the merger of Weber Merger Sub, LLC with and into Blocker, in each case at a price per LLC Unit and share of Class A common stock equal to the initial public offering price of our Class A common stock minus underwriting discounts.

Weber HoldCo LLC used the proceeds from the sale of the LLC Units to Weber Inc. as follows: (i) to pay estimated fees and expenses of approximately $17.4 million in connection with this offering and the Reorganization Transactions and (ii) to repay $220.1 million of the outstanding borrowings under our Secured Credit Facility. Weber HoldCo LLC did not receive any proceeds from the purchase of LLC Units from certain Pre-IPO LLC Members by us or the repurchase of shares of Class A common stock by us.

Other than the net proceeds used to acquire 2,349,314 LLC Units from certain Pre-IPO LLC Members and 329,257 shares of Class A common stock from certain Blocker equityholders, which Pre-IPO LLC Members and Blocker equityholders include our significant shareholders, no net proceeds from the IPO were used to make payments, directly or indirectly, to (i) any of our directors, officers or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of our common shares or (iii) any of our affiliates.
