Table of Contents
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Hillman Solutions Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Hillman” or the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the condensed consolidated accounts of the Company for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to "Hillman," "we," "us," "our," or "our Company" refer to Hillman Solutions Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements present information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Operating results for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 27, 2025 and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed on February 17, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
“Hillman Solutions Corp.," "HMAN Group Holdings Inc.," and "The Hillman Companies, Inc." are holding companies with no other operations, cash flows, material assets or liabilities other than the equity interests in "The Hillman Group, Inc.,", which is the borrower under the credit facility.
Nature of Operations:
The Company is comprised of three separate operating business segments: (1) Hardware and Protective Solutions, (2) Robotics and Digital Solutions, and (3) Canada.
Hillman provides and, on a limited basis, produces products such as fasteners and related hardware items; rod, shapes, and sheets; keys, key duplication systems, and accessories; personal protective equipment such as gloves, work gear, paint and cleaning wipes and cloths; rope and chain; builder's hardware; and identification items, such as tags and letters, numbers, and signs, to retail outlets, primarily hardware stores, home centers and mass merchants, pet supply stores, grocery stores, and drug stores. The Canada segment also produces fasteners, stampings, fittings, and processes threaded parts for automotive suppliers, industrial Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”), and industrial distributors.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the significant accounting policies included in the Form 10-K filed on February 17, 2026 with the SEC.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Share Repurchase Program:
On July 31, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100,000 (the “Repurchase Program”) of the Company's common stock. The Company accounts for the repurchase of its common stock under the cost method. Under this method, the repurchased shares are recorded at their cost as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Upon repurchase, the treasury stock account is debited for the cost paid, and the cash account is credited. When treasury shares are reissued, any excess of the reissuance price over the repurchase cost is credited to additional paid-in capital. If the reissuance price is less than the repurchase cost, the difference is first debited to additional paid-in capital (from previous treasury stock transactions) and then to

retained earnings. The Company does not recognize gains or losses from treasury stock transactions in its income statement. See Note 11 - Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for more information.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
The Company offers a variety of sales incentives to its customers primarily in the form of discounts and rebates. Discounts are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at the date of the related sale. Rebates are based on the revenue to date and the contractual rebate percentage to be paid. A portion of the cost of the rebate is allocated to each underlying sales transaction. Discounts and rebates are included in the determination of net sales.
The Company also establishes reserves for customer returns and allowances. The reserve is established based on historical rates of returns and allowances. The reserve is adjusted quarterly based on actual experience. Returns and allowances are included in the determination of net sales.
The following tables display our disaggregated revenue by product category.

The Company's revenue by geography is allocated based on the location of its sales operations.
Hardware and Protective Solutions' revenues consist primarily of the delivery of fasteners, anchors, specialty fastening products, rope and chain, and personal protective equipment such as gloves, work gear, paint and cleaning wipes and cloths, as well as accessories, and in-store merchandising services for the related product category.
Robotics and Digital Solutions revenues consist primarily of sales of keys, automotive keys, and identification tags through self-service key duplication and engraving kiosks. It also includes our associate-assisted key duplication systems.
Canada revenues consist primarily of the delivery to Canadian customers of fasteners and related hardware items, threaded rod, keys, key duplicating systems, accessories, personal protective equipment, and identification items as well as in-store merchandising services for the related product category.
The Company’s performance obligations under its arrangements with customers are providing products, in-store merchandising services, and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment. Generally, the price of the merchandising services and the access to the key duplicating and engraving equipment is included in the price of the related products. Control of products is transferred at the point in time when the customer accepts the goods, which occurs upon delivery of the products. Judgment is required in determining the time at which to recognize revenue for the in-store services and the access to key duplicating and engraving equipment. Revenue is recognized for in-store service and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment as the related products are delivered, which approximates a time-based recognition pattern. Therefore, the entire amount of consideration

related to the sale of products, in-store merchandising services, and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment is recognized upon the delivery of the products.
The costs to obtain a contract are insignificant and generally contract terms do not extend beyond one year. Therefore, these costs are expensed as incurred. Freight and shipping costs and the cost of our in-store merchandising service teams are recognized in selling, warehouse, general, and administrative expense when control over products is transferred to the customer.
The Company used the practical expedient regarding the existence of a significant financing component as payments are due in less than one year after delivery of the products.
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On January 6, 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, as an amendment to ASU 2024-03. This ASU mandates that public business entities provide detailed disclosures in the notes to their financial statements, breaking down certain expense categories presented on the income statement into specified natural expense components. This enhanced disclosure aims to provide investors with more detailed information about the types of expenses included in commonly presented expense captions, such as cost of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A), and research and development. The amendments introduced by ASU 2025-01 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact provided by the new standard.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which is intended to modernize the accounting for the costs of internal-use software. The amendments remove all references to prescriptive and sequential development stages and, instead, require an entity to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period with the amendments to be applied using a prospective, modified or retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact provided by the new standard.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements which is intended to clarify existing requirements without fundamentally altering interim reporting or changing existing disclosure requirements. Key aspects include clarifying that ASC 270 applies to entities providing a full set of GAAP interim financial statements and notes, centralizing a list of all required interim disclosures from other ASC topics within Topic 270, and codifying a principle requiring disclosure of material events and changes since the most recent annual report. The amendments in this update are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact provided by the new standard.
4. ACQUISITIONS
Campbell Chain and Fittings
On April 3, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Campbell Chain and Fittings ("Campbell"), a widely recognized provider of industrial chain and chain-related products for a total purchase price of $2,600. Campbell adds US-based manufacturing and complements our existing chain business. The excess of the estimated fair value of net assets acquired over the estimated fair value of liabilities assumed was recorded as a preliminary gain on acquisition of $4,721, net of deferred taxes. Campbell has business operations throughout North America and its financial results reside in the Company's Hardware and Protective Solutions reportable segment.
The following table reconciles the preliminary fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities to the total purchase price of Campbell.

The amortization expense for intangible assets for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 was $15,223 and $30,499, and $15,257 and $30,672 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, respectively.
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. Impairment is also tested when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values of the assets may be greater than their fair values. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, the Company did not identify any triggering events that would result in an impairment analysis outside of the annual assessment.
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Insurance Coverage
The Company self-insures its general liability including product liability, automotive and workers' compensation losses up to $500 per occurrence. Catastrophic coverage has been purchased from third party insurers for occurrences up to $60,000. The two risk areas involving the most significant accounting estimates are workers' compensation and automotive liability. Actuarial valuations performed by the Company's outside risk insurance expert were used by the Company's management to form the basis for workers' compensation and automotive liability loss reserves. The actuary contemplated the Company's specific loss history, actual claims reported, and industry trends among statistical and other factors to estimate the range of reserves required. Risk insurance reserves are comprised of specific reserves for individual claims and additional amounts expected for development of these claims, as well as for incurred but not yet reported claims. The Company believes that the liability of approximately $3,545 recorded for such risks is adequate as of June 27, 2026.
As of June 27, 2026, the Company has provided certain vendors and insurers letters of credit aggregating to $5,350 related to our product purchases and insurance coverage for product liability, workers’ compensation, and general liability.

11 | June 27, 2026 Form 10-Q |  |

Table of Contents
The Company self-insures group health claims up to an annual stop loss limit of $300 per participant. Historical group insurance loss experience forms the basis for the recognition of group health insurance reserves. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based on an analysis of historical insurance claim data and certain actuarial assumptions. The Company believes that the liability of approximately $4,222 recorded for such risks is adequate as of June 27, 2026.
Import Duties
The Company imports large quantities of fastener products which are subject to customs requirements and to tariffs and quotas set by governments through mutual agreements and bilateral actions. The Company could be subject to the assessment of additional duties and interest if it or its suppliers fail to comply with customs regulations or similar laws. The U.S. Department of Commerce (the "Department”) has received requests from petitioners to conduct administrative reviews of compliance with anti-dumping duty and countervailing duty laws for certain nail products sourced from Asian countries. The Company sourced products under review from vendors in China and Taiwan during the periods selected for review. The Company accrues for the duty expense once it is determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Litigation
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). On April 15, 2026, Hillman filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade against the United States of America seeking a full refund of all IEEPA tariffs that Hillman has paid to the United States. We elected to apply a gain contingency model in accordance with ASC 450-30, “Gain Contingencies” to account for potential recoveries of previously paid tariffs under which a gain will not be recognized until realized or realizable. Additionally, after the Supreme Court ruling in February, the U.S. administration almost immediately instituted new tariffs against most major trading partners, and has previewed future actions that could restore or exceed the level of the IEEPA tariffs. We expect that the impact of these additional tariffs will partially offset any benefit of the IEEPA refunds that we will receive. Future adverse effects on our financial results will likely continue if tariff levels persist, continue to rise, or remain volatile. We are currently developing and implementing mitigation strategies (such as price increases and sourcing changes, among others) and determining future implementation timelines, though there are no assurances our efforts will be successful.
We are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, any such litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Sales to related parties, which are included in net sales, consist of the sale of excess inventory to Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. ("Ollie's"). John Swygert, Executive Chairman of Ollie's since 2025, and before that President and Chief Executive Officer of Ollie's, is a member of our Board of Directors. Sales to related parties were $15 and $218 in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 and were immaterial in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025.
In late 2024, the Company signed a contract with Ollie's to place Minute Key and Quick-Tag machines in select Ollie's locations. The Company paid royalty shares to Ollie's as a result of this agreement. The payments to related parties were immaterial in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 and in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025.
8. INCOME TAXES
ASC 740 requires companies to apply their estimated annual effective tax rate on a year-to-date basis in each interim period. These rates are derived, in part, from expected annual pre-tax income or loss. In the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, the Company applied an estimated annual effective tax rate based on expected annual pre-tax income to the interim period pre-tax income to calculate the income tax expense.
For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, the effective income tax rate was 24.3% and 25.8%, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 of $6,771 and $5,712, respectively. The difference between the expected statutory tax rate and the effective

12 | June 27, 2026 Form 10-Q |  |

Table of Contents
tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 was the result of certain non-deductible expenses and state and foreign income taxes, offset by the non-taxable gain on the acquisition of Campbell Chain and Fittings.
For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, the effective income tax rate was 29.4% and 29.7%, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 of $6,593 and $6,559, respectively. The effective tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 was the result of certain non-deductible expenses and state and foreign income taxes.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The legislation included several provisions that impact the timing and magnitude of certain tax deductions, including, among others, making 100% bonus depreciation permanent, allowing for the expensing of domestic research costs, and modifying the business interest expense limitation calculation. These changes were incorporated into our income tax provision for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026. Although we do not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on our effective tax rate, we do expect favorable changes to the timing of cash tax payments in the current fiscal year and future periods.

The 2025 Repricing Amendment (i) reduces the interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan outstanding from SOFR plus a margin varying from 2.25% to 2.50% to SOFR plus a margin of 2.00%, as well as a 1.00% margin for ABR Loans and (ii) implements a 1% prepayment premium for the existing Term Loan to apply to Repricing Transactions that occur within six months after the effective date of the 2025 Repricing Amendment. In connection with the closing of the 2025 Repricing Amendment, the Company expensed $906 of new fees in 2025.
10. LEASES
Lessee
The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both 1) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and 2) the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company leases certain distribution center locations, vehicles, forklifts, computer equipment, and its corporate headquarters with expiration dates through 2042. Certain lease arrangements include escalating rent payments and options to extend the lease term. Expected lease terms include these options to extend or

terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. The Company's leasing arrangements do not contain material residual value guarantees, nor material restrictive covenants.
The components of operating and finance lease costs for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 and thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 were as follows:

|  | Thirteen Weeks Ended June 27, 2026 |  | Thirteen Weeks Ended June 28, 2025 |  | Twenty-six Weeks Ended June 27, 2026 |  | Twenty-six Weeks Ended June 28, 2025

Interest on lease liabilities |  | 316 |  |  | 260 |  |  | 597 |  |  | 483 |

Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Rent expense totaled $8,275 and $15,949 in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, respectively, and $6,982 and $13,945 in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, respectively. Rent expense includes operating lease costs as well as expenses for non-lease components such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes, real estate insurance, variable costs related to our leased vehicles, and short-term rental expenses.
The implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, as such management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.
The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all of our operating leases were as follows as of June 27, 2026 and December 27, 2025:

Share Repurchases
On July 31, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100,000 (the “Repurchase Program”) of the Company's common stock. The Repurchase Program permits shares of common stock to be repurchased from time to time at management's discretion, through a variety of methods, including a

15 | June 27, 2026 Form 10-Q |  |

Table of Contents
10b5-1 trading plan, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or transactions otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The timing and number of shares of common stock repurchased will be opportunistic depending on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, alternative investment opportunities and funding considerations. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
The following table presents information about our repurchases of common stock, all of which were completed through open market purchases (amounts in thousands):

Total cost of shares repurchased (1) |  | $ | (13,284) |  |  | $ | (23,400) |

(1) The Company’s share repurchases are subject to a 1% excise tax as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Excise taxes incurred on share repurchases represent direct costs of the repurchase and are recorded as a part of the cost basis of the shares within treasury stock.
The cost of shares repurchased may differ from the repurchases of common stock amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows due to unsettled share repurchases at the end of a period and excise taxes incurred on share repurchases.

The PSUs granted to employees for service generally vest after three years, subject to continued employment.
2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") became effective on July 14, 2021, in which 1,140,754 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the ESPP. On June 3, 2025, the ESPP plan was amended to increase the share reserve by 1,000,000 shares of common stock, for a total of 2,140,754 shares available for issuance. Under the ESPP, eligible employees are granted options to purchase shares of common stock at 85% of the fair market value at the time of exercise. Options to purchase shares are granted four times a year on the first payroll date in January, April, July, and October of each year and ending approximately three months later on the last business day in March, June, September or December. No employee may be granted an option under the Plan if, immediately after the option is granted, the employee would own stock possessing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company.
Compensation expense associated with ESPP purchase rights is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. As of the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 there was approximately $88 and $230 of compensation expense related to the ESPP recognized, respectively, and $80 and $209 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, respectively.
13. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards and units. The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") computations for both the numerator and denominator (in thousands, except per share data):

| Thirteen Weeks Ended June 27, 2026 |  | Twenty-six Weeks Ended June 27, 2026

Stock options and awards outstanding totaling 9,455 and 6,566 were excluded from the computation for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, respectively, and 11,439 and 7,277 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, respectively, as they would have had an antidilutive effect under the treasury stock method.
14. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company's objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposures to (1) interest rate fluctuations on its floating rate senior term loan and (2) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company measures those instruments at fair value and recognizes changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change, unless the derivative qualifies as an effective hedge that offsets certain exposures.
The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, holds no derivative instruments for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
On December 19, 2023, the Company entered into an interest swap agreement ("2024 Swap 1") for a notional amount of $144,000. The forward start date of the 2024 Swap 1 was July 21, 2024 and the termination date is January 31, 2027. The 2024 Swap 1 has a determined pay fixed interest rate of 3.8%. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company determined the 2024 Swap 1 constituted an effective cash flow hedge and therefore changes in fair value are recorded within other comprehensive income (loss) within the Company's Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the deferred gains or losses are reclassified out of other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
On December 19, 2023, the Company entered into an interest swap agreement ("2024 Swap 2") for a notional amount of $216,000. The forward start date of the 2024 Swap 2 was July 21, 2024 and the termination date is January 31, 2027. The 2024 Swap 2 has a determined pay fixed interest rate of 3.62%. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company determined the 2024 Swap 2 constituted an effective cash flow hedge and therefore changes in fair value are recorded within other comprehensive income (loss) within the Company's Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the deferred gains or losses are reclassified out of other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
As of June 27, 2026 the Company held no foreign currency forward contracts outstanding. As of December 27, 2025 the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts. The purpose of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts is to manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar.
The total notional amount of contracts outstanding was C$1,551 and the total fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts was $1,504 as of December 27, 2025. The contracts were reported on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in other accrued expenses. A gain in other income of $20 and loss of $4 was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the change in fair value during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, respectively. A loss in other income of $79 and gain of $81 was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the change in fair value during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, respectively.
The Company's foreign currency forward contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because they did not meet the provisions specified in ASC 815. Accordingly, the gain or loss on these derivatives was recognized in other (income) expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, holds no derivative instruments for trading purposes.
Additional information with respect to the fair value of derivative instruments is included in Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements.
15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company uses the accounting guidance that applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: |  | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: |  | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: |  | Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. An asset or liability's level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:

Trading securities are valued using quoted prices on an active exchange. Trading securities represent assets held in a Rabbi Trust to fund deferred compensation liabilities and are included as Other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company utilizes interest rate swap contracts to manage our targeted mix of fixed and floating rate debt, and these contracts are valued using observable benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swap contracts. As of June 27, 2026 and December 27, 2025, the Company's interest rate swaps were recorded on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with ASC 815.
The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage our exposure to currency fluctuations in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. The forward contracts were valued using observable benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals during the term of the forward contract. As of June 27, 2026, Hillman did not utilize any forward contracts, and as of December 27, 2025, the foreign exchange forward contracts were included in other accrued expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The contingent consideration represents future potential earn-out payments related to the Resharp acquisition in fiscal 2019 and the Instafob acquisition in the first quarter of 2020. The estimated fair value of the contingent earn-outs was determined using a Monte Carlo analysis examining the frequency and mean value of the resulting earn-out payments. The resulting value captures the risk associated with the form of the payout structure. The risk neutral method is applied, resulting in a value that captures the risk associated with the form of the payout structure and the projection risk. The carrying amount of the liability may fluctuate significantly and actual amounts paid may be materially different from the estimated value of the liability. The current and non-current portions of these obligations are reported separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as other accrued expense and other non-current liabilities, respectively. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities, as determined by using a simulation model of the Monte Carlo analysis that includes updated projections applicable to the liability, are recorded within other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration (Level 3) for Resharp and Instafob as of June 27, 2026.

Cash, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at book value, which approximates fair value, due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the long-term debt under the revolving credit facility and term loan approximate the fair value at June 27, 2026 and December 27, 2025 as the interest rate is variable and approximates current market rates of debt based on observable market transactions with similar terms and comparable credit risk.
Additional information with respect to the derivative instruments is included in Note 14 - Derivatives and Hedging.
16. SEGMENT REPORTING

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides information which the Company’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in addition to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2025.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, certain disclosures related to acquisitions, refinancing, capital expenditures, resolution of pending litigation, and realization of deferred tax assets, which are not historical facts and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Statements that do not describe historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are made in good faith by the Company and are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," “target”, “goal”, "may," "will," "could," "should," "believes," "predicts," "potential," "continue," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations with respect to future performance. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) unfavorable economic conditions that may affect our and our customers’, suppliers’ and other business partners’ operations, financial condition and cash flows including spending on home renovation or construction projects, inflation, recessions, instability in the financial markets or credit markets; (2) increased supply chain costs, including tariffs, raw materials, sourcing, transportation and energy; (3) the highly competitive nature of the markets that we serve; (4) the ability to continue to innovate with new products and services; (5) seasonality; (6) large customer concentration; (7) the ability to recruit and retain qualified employees; (8) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company; (9) adverse changes in currency exchange rates; or (10) regulatory changes and potential legislation that could adversely impact financial results.

GENERAL
Hillman Solutions Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Hillman” or “Company”) are one of the largest providers of hardware-related products and related merchandising services to retail markets in North America. Our principal business is operated through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hillman Solutions Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Hillman Group”), which had net sales of $442.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2026 and $812.3 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026. Hillman sells its products to hardware stores, home improvement centers, mass merchants, pet supply stores, and other retail outlets principally in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Product lines include thousands of small hardware parts such as fasteners and related items; threaded rod and metal shapes; keys and accessories; builder's hardware; personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eyewear; rope and chain; and identification items,

25 | June 27, 2026 Form 10-Q |  |

such as tags and letters, numbers, and signs. We support product sales with services that include design and installation of merchandising systems, maintenance of appropriate in-store inventory levels, and break-fix for our robotics kiosks.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Tariff Environment
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). On April 15, 2026, Hillman filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade against the United States of America seeking a full refund of all IEEPA tariffs that Hillman has paid to the United States. We elected to apply a gain contingency model in accordance with ASC 450-30, “Gain Contingencies” to account for potential recoveries of previously paid tariffs under which a gain will not be recognized until realized or realizable. Additionally, after the Supreme Court ruling in February, the U.S. administration almost immediately instituted new tariffs against most major trading partners, and has previewed future actions that could restore or exceed the level of the IEEPA tariffs. We expect that the impact of these additional tariffs will partially offset any benefit of the IEEPA refunds that we will receive in the current year. Future adverse effects on our financial results will likely continue if tariff levels persist, continue to rise, or remain volatile. We are currently developing and implementing mitigation strategies (such as price increases and sourcing changes, among others) and determining future implementation timelines, though there is no assurance that these efforts will be successful.
Acquisition of Campbell Chain and Fittings
On April 3, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Campbell Chain and Fittings ("Campbell"), a widely recognized provider of industrial chain and chain-related products for a total purchase price of $2,600. Campbell adds US-based manufacturing and complements our existing chain business.
Acquisition of Delaney Hardware
On April 10, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Delaney Hardware (“Delaney”), a U.S.-based supplier of door hardware and related products used in residential, multifamily, and commercial construction for a total purchase price of $4,618. Delaney has business operations in North America and its financial results reside in the Company's Hardware and Protective Solutions reportable segment.
IMPACT OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our business is impacted by general economic conditions in the North American markets, particularly the U.S. and Canadian retail markets, including hardware stores, home improvement centers, mass merchants, and other retailers. Changes in current economic conditions, including inflationary pressures in the cost of inventory, transportation, and employee compensation, foreign currency volatility, housing market trends, tariffs, and concerns of a potential recession, have impacted consumer discretionary income levels and spending. Consumer discretionary income levels and spending impact the purchasing trends of our products by our retail customers. Any adverse trends in discretionary income and consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on our business or operating results.
We are exposed to the risk of unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the U.S. dollar versus local currency of our suppliers, particularly those located in China and Taiwan, because we purchase a majority of our products for resale from multiple vendors located in these countries. The purchase price of these products is routinely negotiated in U.S. dollar amounts rather than the local currency of the vendors and our suppliers' profit margins decrease when the U.S. dollar declines in value relative to the local currency. This puts pressure on our suppliers to increase prices to us. The U.S. dollar declined in value relative to the CNY by approximately 3.0% in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, declined by 4.0% in 2025, and increased by 2.8% in 2024. The U.S. dollar increased in value relative to the Taiwan dollar by approximately 1.4% in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, declined by 4.2% in 2025, and increased by 7.1% in 2024.
We are also exposed to risk of unfavorable changes in the Canadian dollar exchange rate versus the U.S. dollar. Our sales in Canada are denominated in Canadian dollars, while a majority of the products are sourced in U.S. dollars. A weakening of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar results in lower sales in terms of U.S. dollars while the cost of sales remains unchanged. We have a practice of hedging some of our Canadian subsidiary's

26 | June 27, 2026 Form 10-Q |  |

purchases denominated in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar increased in value relative to the Canadian dollar by approximately 3.7% in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, declined by 5.2% in 2025, and increased by 9.0% in 2024.
In addition, the negotiated purchase price of our products may be dependent upon market fluctuations in the cost of raw materials (i.e. steel, zinc, and nickel) used by our vendors in their manufacturing processes. The final purchase cost of our products may also be dependent upon inflation or deflation in the local economies of vendors that could impact the cost of labor and materials used in the manufacturing of our products. We identify the directional impact of changes in our product cost, but the quantification of each of these variable impacts cannot be measured as to the individual impact on our product cost with a sufficient level of precision. We may take pricing action, when warranted, in an attempt to offset a portion of product cost increases. The ability of our operating divisions to implement or maintain price increases and seek price concessions, as appropriate, is dependent on competitive market conditions.
We import products, which are subject to customs requirements and to tariffs and quotas set by governments, through mutual agreements and bilateral actions. The historical U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum and other imported goods have increased our product costs and required us to increase prices on the affected products. Current uncertainties about increases in tariffs of imported products from countries may have an adverse effect on our results. (see Recent Developments - Tariff Environment of Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis above and Risk Factors of Part II - Other Information for additional information).

Consolidated |  | $ | 442,251 |  |  |  |  | $ | 402,803 |  |  |  |  | $ | 39,448 |  |  | 9.8 | %

We evaluate our net sales growth by measuring changes from new business wins (e.g. new customers, new product lines, or new categories at existing customers), mergers and acquisitions, and core performance of the existing business. We define core performance as the impact of the following factors on our existing base of business: market volume growth, change in customer footprint, product category management, price increases and/or decreases, and the impact of foreign currency exchange. During the quarter, our business was impacted by macroeconomic influences like economic uncertainty and concerns over housing affordability resulting from the combined pressure of high home prices and elevated interest rates, both of which impact existing home sales and repair and remodel spending on the home. During the second quarter of 2026, net sales increased by $39.4 million or 9.8%.
Our Hardware and Protective Solutions' segment increased by $30.1 million, or 9.9%. Primarily driving the increase was a 4.1% increase in core performance and 1.5% increase in new business wins, along with sales related to the Delaney and Campbell acquisitions of $13.7 million. Our increase in core performance was impacted by a low double digit increase from pricing partially offset by a high single digit decrease in volume.
Our Robotics and Digital Solutions' segment increased by $6.1 million, or 11.0%. Primarily driving the increase was 13.5% in new business wins partially offset by a 2.6% decrease in core performance. Core performance within RDS was positively impacted by a low double digit impact of price increases which was more than offset by a mid single digit decrease in volume.

28 | June 27, 2026 Form 10-Q |  |

Lastly, our Canada segment increased by $3.2 million, or 7.8%. Primarily driving the increase was 13.6% in new business wins. Our core performance was down 5.8% due to soft market volumes.

Income from operations in our Robotics and Digital Solutions segment decreased $0.5 million. The $0.5 million decrease is primarily due to the changes in net sales, cost of sales, and SG&A expenses described above, and an increase in depreciation expense of $1.9 million due to capital spend on key duplication kiosks and machines. Additionally, we saw a decrease of $0.4 million in other income driven by the changes in revaluation of the contingent consideration described above.
Canada's income from operations increased by $0.4 million primarily due to the changes in net sales, cost of sales and SG&A expenses described above offset by the change in exchange rate losses of $0.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2026.
Interest expense, net, decreased $0.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2026 primarily due to a reduction in outstanding debt and a reduction in interest rate spreads driven by the debt repricing in the first quarter of 2025 (see Note 9 - Long-term Debt of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information).
Income Taxes
For the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2026 and thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2025, the effective income tax rate was 24.3% and 29.4%, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2026 of $6.8 million based on a pre-tax income of $27.9 million, and an income tax provision for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2025 of $6.6 million based on a pre-tax income of $22.4 million.
In 2026, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses, offset by the non-taxable gain on the acquisition of Campbell Chain and Fittings.
In 2025, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses. See Note 8 - Income Taxes of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Hardware and Protective Solutions' SG&A increased due to the following:
•Selling expense increased by $4.5 million primarily due to expenses associated with our pro growth strategy and other initiatives.
•Warehouse expense increased $2.8 million primarily due to increased compensation and freight costs.
•General and administrative (“G&A”) expense was comparable to prior year.
Robotics and Digital Solutions' SG&A increased due to the following:
•Selling expense increased by $8.0 million primarily due to the shift from full-service keys to self-service keys, which have a higher variable selling cost.
•G&A expense decreased $0.4 million due to reduced compensation and benefit expense.
•Warehouse expense was comparable to prior year.
Canada's SG&A increased due to the following:
•Selling expense increased by $0.8 million primarily due to increased variable selling expenses.
•Warehouse expense increased $0.3 million primarily due to higher sales volumes.
•G&A was comparable to prior year.
Other Operating Expenses
Depreciation expense increased $5.3 million due to capital spend on merchandising racks along with key duplication kiosks.
Amortization expense in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to some intangible assets being fully amortized.
In the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, other income (expense) increased by $4.1 million consisting primarily of a $4.7 million gain on the acquisition of Campbell Chain and Fittings (see Note 4 - Acquisitions of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information) along with a $0.4 million gain on the revaluation of the contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Resharp and Instafob (see Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). In addition, we recorded income related to certain rebates received of $0.7 million along with exchange rate losses of $0.6 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026.
In the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, other income (expense) consisted primarily of a $0.6 million gain on the revaluation of the contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Resharp and Instafob. In addition, we recorded income related to certain rebates received of $0.4 million along with exchange rate gains of $0.1 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025.

Income from Operations

|  | Twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 |  | Twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 |  | $ Change |  | % Change
Hardware and Protective Solutions |  | $ | 34,343 |  |  | $ | 37,142 |  |  | $ | (2,799) |  |  | (7.5) | %
Robotics and Digital Solutions |  | 8,513 |  |  | 9,365 |  |  | (852) |  |  | (9.1) |

Total segment income from operations |  | $ | 48,147 |  |  | $ | 51,332 |  |  | $ | (3,185) |  |  | (6.2) | %

Income from operations in our Hardware and Protective Solutions segment decreased $2.8 million due to the changes in net sales, cost of sales, SG&A expenses, and other income described above in addition to an increase in depreciation expense of $1.4 million due to capital spend on merchandising racks offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in amortization expense due to some intangible assets being fully amortized.
Income from operations in our Robotics and Digital Solutions segment decreased $0.9 million. The $0.9 million decrease is primarily due to the changes in net sales, cost of sales, and SG&A expenses described above, along with an increase in depreciation expense of $3.9 million due to capital spend on key duplication kiosks and machines and a decrease of $0.2 million in other expense driven by the changes in revaluation of the contingent consideration described above.
Canada's income from operations increased by $0.5 million primarily due to the changes in net sales, cost of sales and SG&A expenses described above offset by the change in exchange rate losses of $0.6 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 .
Interest expense, net, decreased $2.3 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 primarily due to a reduction in outstanding debt and a reduction in interest rate spreads driven by the debt repricing in the first quarter of 2025 (see Note 9 - Long-term Debt of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information).
Income Taxes
For the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, the effective income tax rate was 25.8% and 29.7%, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 of $5.7 million based on a pre-tax income of $22.1 million, and an income tax provision for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 of $6.6 million based on a pre-tax income of $22.1 million.
In 2026, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses, offset by the non-taxable gain on the acquisition of Campbell Chain and Fittings.
In 2025, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses. See Note 8 - Income Taxes of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is the primary basis used to measure the operational strength and performance of our businesses, as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our businesses. This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations. It is also unaffected by our capital and tax structures, as our management excludes these results when evaluating our operating performance. Our management uses this financial measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments as well as to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. Additionally, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our working capital position, which we define as current assets minus current liabilities, of $422.9 million as of June 27, 2026 represents an increase of $34.0 million from the December 27, 2025 level of $388.9 million driven by seasonality of the business and tariff costs. We expect to generate sufficient operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs, and we expect to maintain access to the capital markets, although there can be no assurance of our ability to do so. However, disruption and volatility in the global capital markets and economic uncertainties driven by increases in tariffs could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future. We do expect the current tariff environment to increase our costs of products we import, which will increase our working capital position and unfavorably impact our future cash flows (see Recent Developments - Tariff Environment of Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Risk Factors of Part II - Other Information for additional information).
The following table presents the key categories of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

|  | Twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 |  | Twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 |  | $ Change
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 68,463 |  |  | $ | 48,052 |  |  | $ | 20,411 |
Net cash used for investing activities |  | (39,909) |  |  | (38,284) |  |  | (1,625) |
Net cash used for financing activities |  | (19,955) |  |  | (20,411) |  |  | 456 |
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents |  | 8,563 |  |  | (10,322) |  |  | 18,885 |

Operating Cash Flows:
Net cash provided by operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 was favorably impacted by a reduction in inventory due to a focus on inventory management in order to balance supply chain in relationship with the recently enacted tariffs. Additionally, net cash used for operating activities was unfavorably impacted by a decrease in accrued incentive compensation related to the payout of 2025 incentive compensation.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 was favorably impacted by increased accounts payable due to the timing of inventory purchases and payments. Inventory and accounts payable were both impacted by the recently enacted tariffs. Net cash provided by operating activities was unfavorably impacted by a decrease in accrued incentive compensation related to the payout of 2024 incentive compensation.
Investing Cash Flows:
Capital Expenditures:
Cash of $32.6 million and $38.2 million was used in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, respectively, to invest in new key duplicating kiosks and merchandising racks.
Acquisitions:
Campbell Chain and Fittings
On April 3, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Campbell Chain and Fittings ("Campbell"), a widely recognized provider of industrial chain and chain-related products for a total purchase price of $2,600.
Delaney Hardware
On April 10, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Delaney Hardware (“Delaney”), a U.S.-based supplier of door hardware and related products used in residential, multifamily, and commercial construction for a total purchase price of $4,618.

37 | June 27, 2026 Form 10-Q |  |

Financing Cash Flows:
Term Loan:
The Company used $4.3 million of cash for principal payments on the senior term loan. As of June 27, 2026, we have outstanding borrowings of $632.7 million on the term loan. See Note 9 - Long-term Debt of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
ABL Revolver:
Our revolver draws, net of payments, provided cash of $10.0 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, primarily used to fund acquisitions and capital expenditures.
Our revolver payments, net of draws, used cash of $13.0 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, as we worked to pay down our debt.
Treasury Stock:
In the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, the Company repurchased $23.4 million of its common stock, see Note 11 - Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Stock Option Exercises:
In the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026 and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, the Company received $1.5 million and $0.5 million from the exercise of stock options, respectively.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Significant accounting policies and estimates are summarized in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Some accounting policies require management to exercise significant judgment in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. Such judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, known trends in our industry, terms of existing contracts, and other information from outside sources, as appropriate. Management believes that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable based on the facts and circumstances as of June 27, 2026, however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and circumstances.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates which are discussed in the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2026.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes as borrowings under the Senior Facilities bear interest at variable interest rates. It is our policy to enter into interest rate swaps only to the extent considered necessary to meet our objectives.
Based on our exposure to variable rate borrowings at June 27, 2026, after consideration of our SOFR floor rate and interest rate swap agreements, a one percent (1%) change in the weighted average interest rate for a period of one year would change the annual interest expense by approximately $3.2 million.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE
We are exposed to foreign exchange rate changes of the Canadian and Mexican currencies as they impact the $127.7 million tangible and intangible net asset value of our Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries as of June 27, 2026. The foreign subsidiaries' net tangible assets were $77.1 million and the net intangible assets were $50.6 million as of June 27, 2026.
We utilize foreign exchange forward contracts to manage the exposure to currency fluctuations in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. Dollar. See Note 14 - Derivatives and Hedging of the Condensed Notes to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
Our transportation costs are exposed to fluctuations in the price of fuel and some of our products contain commodity-priced materials. The Company regularly monitors commodity trends and works to mitigate any material exposure to commodity price risk by having alternative sourcing plans in place, limiting supplier concentrations, passing commodity-related inflation to customers, and continuing to scale its distribution networks.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of June 27, 2026, in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

39 | June 27, 2026 Form 10-Q |  |

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On April 3, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Campbell Chain and Fittings ("Campbell") and on April 10, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Delaney Hardware (“Delaney”). SEC guidance permits management to omit an assessment of an acquired business’ internal control over financial reporting from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for a period not to exceed one year from the date of the acquisition. Accordingly, management has not assessed Campbell's or Delaney's internal control over financial reporting as of June 27, 2026.
