Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation The Company is a party to various lawsuits and claims in the normal course of business, as well as the putative securities class action described below. While the lawsuits and claims against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company; however, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in such lawsuits and claims, some of which may be beyond the Company’s control, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period. The Company has established loss provision for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although management will continue to reassess the estimated liability based on future developments, an objective assessment of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from current estimates. A putative securities class action was filed on November 6, 2023, against the Company, Tom Tomlinson (the Company’s former Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer), and Dominic Bardos (the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky (the “Complaint”) and is captioned City of Fort Lauderdale General Employees’ Retirement System v. Holley, Inc., f/k/a Empower LTD., Tom Tomlinson, and Dominic Bardos, Civil Action No. 1:23-cv-148-S. On February 26, 2024, the court appointed City of Fort Lauderdale General Employees’ Retirement System to serve as lead plaintiff to prosecute claims on behalf of a proposed class of stockholders who purchased or otherwise acquired Holley securities between July 21, 2021 and February 6, 2023. On April 26, 2024, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, adding Vinod Nimmagadda (the Company’s Executive Vice President of Corporate Development and New Ventures) as a defendant. The lead plaintiff alleges that statements made regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects violated Sections 10(b), Section 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and seeks class certification, damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and other relief. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on June 28, 2024. On January 7, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a supplemented amended Complaint, which the court granted on March 20, 2025. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the supplemented amended Complaint on April 3, 2025, and on August 29, 2025, the court denied the motion to dismiss. On April 21, 2026, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the matter, and on April 22, 2026, the parties filed a joint motion to stay all case deadlines for sixty days to negotiate and prepare a settlement agreement and settlement-related papers. The Court granted the motion on April 24, 2026. To allow additional time to negotiate definitive settlement documentation, the Court subsequently granted motions to further extend all case deadlines until July 10, 2026 and July 17, 2026. The lead plaintiff filed for preliminary approval of the settlement on July 17, 2026. The settlement received preliminary Court approval on August 3, 2026. Based on information currently available, the Company believes that its existing accruals appropriately reflect its estimated exposure related to this matter, including amounts associated with applicable insurance deductibles. The Company expects that a substantial portion of any settlement amount in excess of the applicable deductible will be covered by insurance. Accordingly, the Company does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material incremental impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Product Warranties The Company generally warrants its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. These product warranties are provided for specific periods of time depending on the nature of the product. The accrued product warranty costs are based primarily on historical experience of actual warranty claims and are recorded at the time of the sale. The following table provides the changes in the Company's accrual for product warranties, which is classified as a component of accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Employee Savings Plans The Company has a defined-contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code that covers United States-based employees. United States-based eligible employees may contribute up to the current statutory limits under the Internal Revenue Service regulations. Holley matches employee contributions to the 401(k) Plan up to 3.5% each pay period, and an additional discretionary match of up to 1.5% is made based on company performance targets. The Company also has a defined-contribution savings plan for Canada-based employees. Canada-based eligible employees may contribute up to the current statutory limits for a Registered Retirement Savings Plan. Holley matches employee contributions to the Group Savings Plan up to 3.0% each pay period, and an additional discretionary match of up to 1.5% is made based on company performance targets. During the 13-week periods ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, the Company made matching contributions under the savings plans totaling $794 and $478, respectively. During the 26-week periods ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, the Company made matching contributions under the savings plan totaling $1,547 and $1,090, respectively.
