From Jan 2023 to Jan 2025
Weber Inc. (“Weber” or “the Company”) (NYSE: WEBR), the global leader in outdoor cooking products, innovation, and technology, today announced its financial results for the fiscal first quarter 2023, ending December 31, 2022.
Weber reports its financial performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and as adjusted on a non-GAAP basis. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for additional information and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.
For the quarter, Weber generated net sales of $165 million, gross profit of $36 million, a net loss of $114 million, and Adjusted EBITDA loss of $30 million.
“We continue to navigate the macro environment with focus and agility while leaning into our operational expertise, deep product pipeline, and strong execution capabilities to bring our customers experiences that only Weber can create,” said Alan Matula, Chief Executive Officer of Weber. “I am incredibly proud of our team's rapid progress against our key strategic priorities. With a new season before us, we look forward to continuing to transform how the world cooks outside with our new, multi-functional LUMINTM electric grill, a griddle suite of products poised to change the game, and a pellet grill that speaks to the versatility and rich flavor outdoor cooks crave.”
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
On December 12, 2022, Weber announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which investment funds managed by BDT Capital Partners LLC ("BDT") will purchase all of the outstanding Class A Shares that they do not already own, for $8.05 per share of Class A common stock of Weber, which implies a total enterprise value of $3.7 billion for Weber. A special committee of the board of directors (the "Special Committee"), comprised solely of independent directors, advised by its own independent financial and legal advisors, unanimously recommended that the Weber board approve the transaction. Acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, Weber’s board approved the transaction. Upon completion of the transaction, Weber will become a privately held company majority owned by BDT investment funds. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.
