COVID-19 Implemented Action

COVID-19 UPDATE

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented swift actions to protect our employees, ensure uninterrupted service to our customers and aggressively adjust our business and cost structure for an expected revenue decline. Our businesses in all three segments support an essential daily requirement, food, and thus have been designated as essential in most global locations. We are proud to continue to support our customers, while adhering to strict employee safety standards at all worldwide operations.

We have implemented the following in response to COVID-19:

  • Employee Safety- Implemented companywide procedures including enhanced workplace sanitation, travel discontinuation, social distancing, staggered shifts and work-at-home protocols for most non-production employees.
  • Customer Support-Ensured continued access to customer support, technical service and uninterrupted shipping of service parts and finished goods. Production continued to meet customer demand.
  • Cost Initiatives-Initiated an aggressive reduction of all controllable and discretionary costs. This included the adjustment of global office and production workforces in response to near-term reduced demand levels and reduced cash compensation to executives.
  • Supply Chain-Established a task force to identify and mitigate supply chain disruption and ensure continuity of business operations and customer support.
  • Liquidity and Cash Flow-Reduced capital expenditures for the remainder of year, enhanced working capital reduction initiatives, deferred near-term acquisition and business development related investments, and discontinued the Middleby share repurchase program.
  • COVID-19Product Introductions-Developed and launched products addressing COVID-19 needs, including sterilization units for N95 masks, mobile and touchless handwashing stations, plexiglass safety shields for restaurants and retail locations, mobile foodservice stations and hand and cleaning sanitizer produced at our most recent acquired company Deutsche.

Commercial Food Service

Our foodservice customers are currently focused on delivery, drive-through and carry-out business and the safety of employees and customers. We are able to support these needs with our existing innovative products and new technology solutions to address workplace safety and continued operating essentials. The strategic investments we have made in the past have well-positioned us for current industry trends. We anticipate new restaurant openings will be impacted, but historically the majority of our sales in this segment are equipment replacement and upgrades.

53% 35%

Residential Kitchen

At our residential businesses, in both the US and UK markets, the impact of COVID-19 included the widespread closure of our residential dealers' retail sales locations and reduction in traffic due to shelter-in-place restrictions. Although demand will continue to be adversely impacted and uncertain, we have seen a positive benefit as dealer retail locations began to re-open in May.

AprilMay

28% 1%

Food Processing

We entered the year with a record backlog of approximately $138 million, which grew to approximately $152 million. In April, customers focused on immediate risks to their business and employees thus pulling focus away from new equipment specifications. End-user demand for our food processing customers has shifted from restaurants to retail grocery stores, impacting sales mix. Sales of hot dogs and other meat products in our core equipment markets have experienced recent increased demand. We are well-positioned to support the demand shift and to support large-scale solutions in this industry.
