Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company (NYSE: HBB) today announced results for the first quarter of 2020 and preliminary results for the second quarter of 2020. The Company expects to release Second Quarter 2020 financial results, file its Second Quarter 2020 10-Q, and hold an investor conference call to discuss first half 2020 financial results in mid-August 2020 and will issue a press release to confirm the date.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company discovered certain accounting irregularities at its Mexico subsidiaries. The Company's Audit Review Committee commenced an internal investigation with the assistance of outside counsel and other third party experts. As a result of the investigation, the Company concluded that certain former employees of one of the Mexico subsidiaries engaged in unauthorized transactions with the Company's Mexico subsidiaries that resulted in expenditures being deferred on the balance sheet beyond the period for which the costs pertained. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash write-offs in its historical consolidated financial statements and restated its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 and each of the quarters during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company today filed an amended annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Details regarding the restatements are available in the Form 10-K/A and in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which was also filed today with the SEC. Both documents will be available on the Company's website www.hamiltonbeachbrands.com.
Kitchen Collection completed its dissolution on April 3, 2020 with a pro-rata distribution of its remaining assets to creditors. Its liabilities at March 31, 2020 were adjusted to the amounts distributed and reflected as income from discontinued operations. As a result, Kitchen Collection's net losses and negative cash flow no longer have an impact on the Company. Kitchen Collection's results are reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented.

First Quarter 2020 Compared to First Quarter 2019 - Continuing Operations
The first quarter began with strong momentum and with revenue trending ahead of prior year. Many US customers increased inventory positions early in the year due to anticipated coronavirus-related disruptions in the supply chain in China. In March, momentum slowed across all markets as government measures to control the spread of COVID-19 were implemented. As a result, total revenue decreased
The Company's long-term relationships with a broad range of retailers and its strong capabilities in the growing ecommerce channel positioned it well to meet consumer demand. The Company's largest retail partners continued to operate both brick-and-mortar stores and ecommerce platforms. Sales at retailers with open brick-and-mortar stores increased. A number of other retail partners temporarily closed their brick-and-mortar stores but continued to sell online. Some ecommerce retailers initially gave priority to certain essential items, causing them to reduce focus on small appliances, among other categories. Despite these restrictions, the Company experienced ecommerce growth. As those restrictions were removed, the Company experienced even stronger online demand for its products. Ecommerce sales in the first quarter increased
In the International Consumer market, revenue decreased, as countries where the Company does business, many of which are emerging markets, were adversely affected by the global pandemic. In the Commercial market, demand fell as the food service and hotel industries virtually shut down and revenue decreased.

First Quarter 2020 Compared to First Quarter 2019 - Discontinued Operations
As of December 31, 2019, all 160 Kitchen Collection stores were closed and operations ceased, following a successful liquidation process. As a result, Kitchen Collection's losses and negative cash flow no longer have an impact on the Company. The dissolution of Kitchen Collection was completed on April 3, 2020 with a pro-rata distribution of its remaining assets to creditors, at which time the Kitchen Collection legal entity ceased to exist. Neither Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company nor Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. received a distribution. Kitchen Collection's liabilities at March 31, 2020 were adjusted to the amounts distributed on April 3, 2020. The reduction in Kitchen Collection's liabilities was reflected as income from discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations was

Continued Business Impact of COVID-19
Hamilton Beach Brands continues to believe it is well positioned to effectively navigate the COVID-19 business environment. The Company's broad portfolio of leading trusted brands, covering 50+ categories, at price points ranging from value to luxury, is providing the breadth and depth of choices that consumers need and want as home cooking has increased significantly. A large majority of the Company's products hold top market share positions and are focused on critical need categories. The Company continues to benefit from its strong retailer relationships, including with the major retail companies that have thrived as essential businesses during the pandemic, its well-developed ecommerce capability, its investments in experienced team members globally, its global infrastructure and its strategic initiatives for long-term growth. The Company implemented cost containment measures following the onset of the pandemic, which included curtailing discretionary expenses, freezing hiring and focusing capital spending on critical projects. Its supply chain management has resulted in reduced inventory, which has contributed to significantly increased cash flow and reduced debt compared to prior year periods.
Demand for small kitchen appliances remains strong in the US and Canada, as many consumers continue to stay at or close to home even as the economy reopens. The Company believes there is potential for the pandemic-driven change in consumer meal habits, which include improved cooking abilities as well as a heightened focus by many on healthy eating and wellness, to become a preference. Consumer demand is significantly focused on product categories in which the Company has a strong presence. Several of the Company's brands continue to outperform the industry, with the Hamilton Beach brand driving significant dollar growth.
New product introductions have been strong despite employee teams working remotely. New items being introduced in time for the holiday selling season include specialty coffee appliances, expansion of the air fryer line, a new vacuum sealer, a connected slow cooker, multi-function cooking appliances, many innovations for breakfast at home such as toasters with new features and egg cooking appliances, and a new water filtration and flavoring countertop machine, among others.
The International Consumer market has begun to improve from weak demand early in the year. While the Commercial market continues to be very weak due to the impact of COVID-19, the Company is well positioned to benefit from any rebound that may occur. A focus on expanding category participation has broadened the Company's ability to generate revenue outside of its core commercial blender and drink mixer business. Ecommerce strength also is expected to have a favorable impact on commercial sales when the pandemic recovery unfolds.
Hamilton Beach Brands continues to work to mitigate the spread of the virus, protect the safety and health of employees, and serve customers and consumers. While near-term flexibility dominates current priorities, the Company also continues to execute its key strategic initiatives to position for recovery.
Second Half 2020 Outlook
While the current robust trends are not expected to be fully sustained over the long term, the Company believes consumer demand should remain strong for the balance of 2020. For the second half of 2020, the Company expects total revenue to increase in the mid-to-high single digits compared to the second half of 2019. The Company has more visibility into the third quarter and at this time expects revenue to increase in the range of
For the full year 2020, Hamilton Beach Brands expects to significantly exceed its goal of generating cash flow before financing of
Hamilton Beach Brands business is seasonal and a majority of its revenue and operating profit is earned in the second half of the year when sales of small kitchen appliances to retailers and consumers increase significantly to prepare for the fall holiday-selling season.

For this reason, the Company cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact COVID-19 may have on its results of operations, financial position, liquidity and stock price. The extent of any impact will depend on the extent of new outbreaks as communities reopen, the extent to which returns to lockdown may be needed, the nature of government public health guidelines and the public's adherence to those guidelines, the impact of government economic relief on the US economy, unemployment levels, the success of businesses reopening, the timing for proven treatments and vaccines for COVID-19, consumer confidence and demand for our products.
