RANKIN ALFRED M ET AL reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.
Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Co director group member Alfred M. Rankin reported a compensation-related stock award rather than an open-market trade. A trust for his benefit received 2,062 shares of Class A Common Stock at no cost as “Required Shares” under the company’s Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan, and he disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.
Following this grant, a trust for his benefit is shown with 368,479 indirect shares, and additional indirect holdings include 14,160 shares in an Individual Retirement Account and trusts with 11,076 and 69,872 shares for other family beneficiaries. The filing reflects routine equity compensation and updated indirect positions, with no reported open-market buying or selling.
Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company is soliciting proxies for its May 7, 2026 annual meeting, where stockholders will vote on electing twelve directors, approving on an advisory basis named executive officer compensation, and ratifying Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditor for 2026. The record date is March 9, 2026.
The company has a dual‑class structure with 9,991,276 Class A shares carrying one vote each and 3,585,995 Class B shares carrying ten votes each, voting together as a single class. The proxy describes a pay‑for‑performance program in which over 70% of CEO R. Scott Tidey’s 2025 target compensation of $3,467,190 was incentive-based, driven by metrics such as a 21.0% return on total capital employed, net sales of $630.4 million and operating profit of $47.3 million, resulting in a 93.3% payout under the annual bonus plan and 99.1% of target under the long‑term equity plan.
Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company reported 2025 revenue of $606.9M, down 7.3% from 2024 as U.S. consumer demand softened while retailers reassessed inventory and new U.S. tariffs, partly offset by growth in Commercial and Health.
Gross margin slipped to 25.7% from 26.0%, mainly from a one-time incremental tariff cost of $5.3M that reduced margin by about 90 basis points. Operating profit was $36.6M (a 6.0% margin) versus $43.2M a year earlier.
Net income declined to $26.5M from $30.8M, with a higher effective tax rate of 25.8% versus 7.8% offsetting the prior year’s non‑recurring pension termination expense. Operating cash flow fell to $13.8M from $65.4M, largely due to higher working capital and lower payables. The company ended 2025 with $47.3M in cash, $50.0M drawn on its $125M revolving credit facility, and $73.8M of excess availability.
In 2025 it repurchased 506,925 shares for $9.0M and its board approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing up to $25M of Class A shares for 2026–2027.
Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company filed an amendment to its quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2025 to add omitted iXBRL data; the underlying financial results are unchanged.
For Q1 2025, revenue was $133.4 million versus $128.3 million a year earlier, and net income was $1.8 million compared with a $1.2 million loss. Gross margin improved to 24.6% from 23.4%, helped by favorable product mix and higher-margin HealthBeacon operations. Operating cash flow was $6.6 million, and the company repurchased 180,556 shares for $3.4 million while maintaining $50.0 million of borrowings on a $125.0 million revolving credit facility.
Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company reported mixed fourth quarter and full year 2025 results shaped by tariff disruptions and a shifting business mix. In the fourth quarter, revenue was relatively flat at $212.9 million, while gross margin expanded to 28.3% and operating profit rose 8.0% to $25.4 million. However, diluted EPS declined to $1.38 from $1.75, mainly reflecting a less favorable tax comparison.
For full year 2025, revenue fell 7.3% to $606.9 million, operating profit declined to $36.6 million from $43.2 million, and diluted EPS eased to $1.95 from $2.20. Operating cash flow dropped to $13.8 million from $65.4 million, and year-end net debt stood at $2.7 million. Management cited a one-time incremental tariff cost of $5.3 million and weaker U.S. consumer demand, partially offset by growth in higher-margin Commercial and Health businesses.
Looking to 2026, the company expects revenue growth to approach mid-single digits, with gross margins similar to or slightly better than 2025. Operating profit is projected to decline by a low-teens percentage as Hamilton Beach increases advertising by about $6 million and records roughly $6 million of accelerated ERP depreciation. Cash flow from operating activities less investing cash outflows is targeted between $35 million and $45 million.
