(hereinafter collectively with all its consolidated subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”) is a wholesale distributor of irrigation supplies, hardscapes (including pavers, natural stone, and blocks), fertilizer and control products (e.g., herbicides), landscape accessories, nursery goods, outdoor lighting, and ice melt products to green industry professionals. The Company also provides value-added consultative services to complement its product offering and to help customers operate and grow their businesses. Substantially all of the Company’s sales are to customers located in the United States of America (“U.S.”), with less thantwo percent of sales and less than three percent of total assets in Canada for all periods presented. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had over 690 branches. Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customers’ business cycles, sales are significantly higher in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year.

Share Repurchase Program

On October 20, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase, at any time or from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $400.0 million pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan and/or pursuant to open market or accelerated share repurchase arrangements, tender offers, or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and may be amended, suspended, or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there wereno shares purchased under the share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2024, the dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the share repurchase authorization was $363.6 million.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was enacted, which, among other things, implements a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on book income of certain large corporations effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, and imposes a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases after December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the enacted legislation to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as applicable to interim financial reporting. In management’s opinion, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The interim period unaudited financial results for the three-month periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The fiscal years ending December 29, 2024 (the “2024 Fiscal Year”) and December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Fiscal Year”) both include 52 weeks. Additionally, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Sunday nearest to March 31, June 30, and September 30, respectively. The three months ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023 both include 13 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities used in operating the Company’s business, including entities in which the Company owns or controls more than 50% of the voting shares. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are wholly owned. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Accounting Policies

Except as updated by the Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements section below, a description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2023 Fiscal Year.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08,“Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contact Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”). The guidance requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)rather than at fair value. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 on a prospective basis when it became effective in the first quarter of the 2023 Fiscal Year. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), as amended in January 2021 by ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” (“ASU 2021-01”), and in December 2022 by ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848” (“ASU 2022-06”).

ASU 2020-04 provided optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria were met.

ASU 2021-01 amended the scope of the guidance in ASU 2020-04 on the facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 clarified that “certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting can apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition”. These amendments applied only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients are applicable to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022. The guidance was permitted to be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occurred.

ASU 2022-06 deferred the expiration date of the reference rate reform relief guidance provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 to December 31, 2024.

The Company previously elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions would be based matches the index for the corresponding derivatives. On March 27, 2023, the Company amended its term loans to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) in lieu of LIBOR. On March 31, 2023, the Company amended the terms of its interest rate swaps to implement SOFR in place of LIBOR. Concurrent with the amendments to its interest rate swaps, the Company elected certain of the optional expedients provided in Topic 848 that allowed the Company to preserve the past presentation of its derivatives without de-designating the existing hedging relationships. The adoption of Topic 848 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” and “Note 4. Fair Value Measurement and Interest Rate Swaps” for additional information regarding these amended agreements.

In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2023-03”). This ASU amends or supersedes various SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to primarily reflect the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120. ASU 2023-03 provides clarifying guidance related to employee and non-employee share-based payment accounting, including guidance to companies issuing share-based awards shortly before announcing material, nonpublic information to consider such material nonpublic information to adjust observable market prices if the release of material nonpublic information is expected to affect the share price. ASU 2023-03 does not provide new guidance so there is no transition or effective date associated with it. Therefore, these updates were immediately effective. The adoption of ASU 2023-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of (i) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within the segment measure of profit or loss, (ii) an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and (iii) the title and position of the Company’s CODM. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard will be effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the segment disclosure impact of the amended guidance; however, ASU 2023-07 is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The new standard will be effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amended guidance and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The following table presents Net sales disaggregated by product category (in millions):

Three Months Ended
March 31, 2024April 2, 2023
Landscaping products(a)$670.8$636.9
Agronomic and other products(b)234.0200.5
$904.8$837.4

(a) Landscaping products include irrigation supplies, hardscapes, landscape accessories, nursery goods, and outdoor lighting.

(b) Agronomic and other products include fertilizer, control products, ice melt, equipment, and other products.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations related to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term greater than one year that are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period. Remaining performance obligations include the outstanding points balance related to the customer loyalty rewards program. The program allows enrolled customers to earn loyalty rewards on purchases to be used on future purchases, to pay for annual customer trips hosted by the Company, or to obtain gift cards to other third-party retailers.

As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $11.5 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, deferred revenue, and billings in excess of revenue recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract liabilities were $11.5 million and $12.4 million, respectively, and were included within Accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the contract liability balance during the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily a result of $4.6 million of revenue recognized and the expiration of points related to the customer loyalty rewards program during the period, partially offset by cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations.

Note 3. Acquisitions

The Company enters into strategic acquisitions in an effort to better service existing customers and to attract new customers. There wereno acquisitions completed by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurement and Interest Rate Swaps

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing an amount that would be received to sell an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized into the following three-tiered value hierarchy:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data.

The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The classification of fair value measurement within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, interest rate swap contracts, and long-term debt. The variable interest rate on the long-term debt is reflective of current market borrowing rates. As such, the Company has determined that the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair value.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company is subject to interest rate risk with regard to existing and future issuances of debt. The Company utilizes interest rate swap contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rates for future interest payments on existing debt. The Company is party to interest rate swap contracts to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate on the borrowings under the term loans.

The Company recognizes any differences between the variable interest rate payments and the fixed interest rate settlements with the swap counterparties as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the swaps. The Company has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and records the estimated fair value of the swaps to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. If it becomes probable the forecasted transactions will not occur, the hedge relationship will be de-designated and amounts accumulated in AOCI will be reclassified to Interest and other non-operating expenses, net in the current period.

On March 31, 2023, the Company amended the terms of its interest rate swaps to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on SOFR in place of LIBOR. Since the interest rate swaps were affected by reference rate reform, the Company applied the expedients and exceptions provided in Topic 848 to preserve the past presentation of its derivatives without de-designating the existing hedging relationships. All interest rate swap amendments were executed with the existing counterparties and did not change the notional amounts, maturity dates, or other critical terms of the hedging relationships. The interest rate swaps will continue to be net settled on a quarterly basis with the counterparties for the difference between the fixed rates and the variable rates based upon three-month Term SOFR (subject to a floor of 0.23839% for interest rate swaps 7, 8, and 9) as applied to the notional amounts of each interest rate swap.

On March 23, 2021, the Company restructured the interest rate swap positions of its forward-starting interest rate swaps 4, 5, and 6 to extend the terms to maturity using a strategy referred to as a “blend and extend” in order to continue to manage its exposure to interest rate risk on borrowings under the term loans. Refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” for additional information regarding the Company’s term loans. As a result of these transactions, all existing agreements for forward-starting interest rate swaps 4, 5, and 6 at that time were amended and restructured as new agreements designated by the Company as interest rate swaps 7, 8, and 9 with the same counterparties. Each of the liability positions of the forward-starting interest rate swaps were blended into the amended interest rate swap agreements and the term of the hedged positions were extended to mature on March 23, 2025. Due to the size of the initial net investment amounts resulting from the termination values of the forward-starting interest rate swaps that were rolled into the interest rate swap arrangements, interest rate swaps 7, 8, and 9 were determined to be hybrid debt instruments containing embedded at-market interest rate swap derivatives. As a result, the Company bifurcated the derivative instruments from the debt host instruments for accounting purposes. Refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” for additional information regarding the Company’s hybrid debt instruments.

The following table provides additional details related to the swap contracts designated as hedging instruments as of March 31, 2024:

Derivatives designated as hedging instrumentsInception DateAmended Effective DateMaturity DateNotional Amount(in millions)Fixed Interest RateType of Hedge

Interest rate swap 3December 17, 2018April 14, 2023January 14, 2024$34.02.73040%Cash flow

The Company recognizes the unrealized gains or unrealized losses for interest rate swap contracts as either assets or liabilities at fair value on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The interest rate swap contracts are subject to master netting arrangements. The Company has elected not to offset the fair value of assets with the fair value of liabilities related to these contracts. The following table summarizes the fair value of the derivative instruments and the respective lines in which they were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in millions):

Derivative Assets
March 31, 2024December 31, 2023

Interest rate contractsPrepaid expenses and other current assets$8.7Prepaid expenses and other current assets$8.4
Other assets—Other assets1.3
Total derivative assets$8.7$9.7

For determining the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts, the Company uses significant observable market data or assumptions (Level 2 inputs) that market participants would use in pricing similar assets or liabilities, including assumptions about counterparty risk. The fair value estimates reflect an income approach based on the terms of the interest rate swap contracts and inputs corroborated by observable market data including interest rate curves.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023, there was no ineffectiveness recognized in earnings. The after-tax amount of unrealized gain on derivative instruments included in AOCI related to the interest rate swap contracts expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months was $6.5 million as of March 31, 2024. The ultimate amount recognized will vary based on fluctuations of interest rates through the maturity dates.

The table below provides details regarding pre-tax amounts in AOCI and gain (loss) reclassified into income for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023 (in millions):

Failure of the swap counterparties to make payments would result in the loss of any potential benefit to the Company under the swap agreements. In this case, the Company would still be obligated to pay the variable interest payments underlying the debt agreements. Additionally, failure of the swap counterparties would not eliminate the Company’s obligation to continue to make payments under the existing swap agreements if it continues to be in a net pay position.
