3Q Earnings Update

COVID-19 Implemented Actions

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 a decline in revenues. Our businesses in all three segments support an essential daily requirement, food, and thus have been designated as essential globally. 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 mandated mask policies, enhanced workplace sanitation, travel discontinuation, social distancing, staggered shifts and established work-at-home protocols for 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 with minimal disruptions to address employee safety precautions.
  • Cost and Profitability Initiatives- Instituted aggressive reduction of all controllable and discretionary costs. This included the adjustment of global office and production workforces in response to near-term reduced demand levels and reduced cash compensation to executives. Increased focus on prioritizing product and customers with highest profitability.
  • Supply Chain- Established a task force to identify and mitigate supply chain disruption and ensure continuity of business operations and customer support.
  • Liquidity and Cash Flow- Reduced capital expenditures for the remainder of year, enhanced working capital initiatives to drive inventory efficiency and suspended the Middleby share repurchase program. Maintaining investments in key strategic initiatives.
  • 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.

Business in quick-serve, pizza, retail, c-store and healthcare continue to be resilient with increased demand for delivery, drive-through and carry-out. There was a noticeable jump in parts orders for the third quarter as well. Casual dining restaurants have become more versed in carry out and delivery as they face another round of indoor dining restrictions. In the marketplace there continues to be a heightened focus on safety and related solutions. Middleby is well positioned to support new and accelerating trends with Bluezone and other commercial kitchen innovations.

Order improvement has sustained as dealer and retail locations have re-opened and consumers plan for kitchen remodels, reallocating funds earmarked for vacations and other cancelled activities. Many continue working, staying and eating at home which has fueled a consistent demand for both indoor and outdoor residential cooking and refrigeration equipment. Resale inventory is low and sales are exceeding 2019 levels. Permits and new home starts in the U.S. are above prior year levels.
