- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Our joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain items have been reclassified in the prior year financial statements to conform to the presentation and classifications used in the current
year. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported balance sheet, results of operations, retained earnings or cash flows.
Use of Estimates in the Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, income taxes and the effective tax rates, inventory basis adjustments, the fair value of assets, liabilities, and assumptions related to business combinations, the recognition and valuation of share-based compensation arrangements, the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, the commencement date of leases, the incremental borrowing rate used to calculate lease liabilities, estimated progress toward completion for certain revenue contracts, allowance for credit losses, fair values and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include our short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Interest income on cash equivalents is offset against interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. For the year ended January 3, 2026, interest income was $5.6. There was
$2.1 of interest income for the year ended December 28, 2024. There wasno interest income for the year ended December 30, 2023. At January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, the Company did not have any restricted cash.
We maintain cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed the insured limits of the local country, which may lead to a concentration of credit risk. Substantially all of our cash balances were deposited with financial institutions which management has determined to be high-credit quality institutions. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable primarily arise from the sale of products and services to customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Additionally, accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value, net of allowance for credit losses, which is based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts.
During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, we received notice that a customer filed a petition for bankruptcy. In addition, we experienced payment delays from a number of customers, and have an elevated risk of certain customers not making payment, yielding an additional increase in the provision for expected credit losses primarily associated with a change in estimate, totaling $15.7 for the year ended December 28, 2024.
We estimate the allowance for credit losses using the loss-rate method. We apply the same loss rates to accounts receivable across our business units and sales channels where similar risk characteristics are observed. We estimate the allowance for credit losses by considering various factors such as historical write-offs, changes in customers’ credit ratings, delinquency, payment history, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current and expected economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is determined that internal collection efforts should no longer be pursued.
The activity for the allowance for credit losses during the years ended January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024 is as follows:
| (dollar amounts in millions) | |
|---|---|
| Balance at December 28, 2024 | $18.1 |
| Write-offs | (6.4) |
| Provision for expected credit losses on accounts receivable | 0.4 |
| Balance at January 3, 2026 | $12.1 |
| (dollar amounts in millions) | |
|---|---|
| Balance at December 30, 2023 | $3.6 |
| Write-offs | (1.2) |
| Provision for expected credit losses on accounts receivable | 15.7 |
| Balance at December 28, 2024 | $18.1 |
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using actual costs determined on a first-in, first-out basis or average cost. Labor and overhead costs associated with inventory produced by us are capitalized into inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property, plant and equipment acquired in business combinations are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and are subsequently stated less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their respective useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Business Combinations
We account for business acquisitions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”, which requires the acquiring entity to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values. The determination of fair value involves assessment of factors such as expected future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. When observable market values are unavailable, we utilize acceptable valuation principles, such as discounted cash flow methods. Consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is measured at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed as incurred. The results of operations for acquired entities are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
We determine the fair value of acquired intangible assets using valuation methodologies appropriate to the asset type. Customer relationships and software development costs are valued using the excess earnings method under the income approach, which calculates the present value of incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset over its economic life. The relief-from-royalty method is used to value tradenames and trademarks, considering market-based royalty rates and discounting future savings from owning the asset rather than licensing it. These valuation models incorporate future operating projections, discount rates, and other key assumptions, including near-term sales expectations and long-term growth projections.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
We account for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets under ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as tradenames and trademarks, are recognized as part of business acquisitions. Neither goodwill nor indefinite-lived intangible assets are amortized but are tested for impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is below its carrying amount.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. Goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit(s) expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. As part of the annual impairment test, we may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying amount. This assessment considers factors such as actual and projected growth trends for net sales and margin, historical performance versus plan, macroeconomic conditions, market-related exposures, competitive dynamics, changes in key personnel, new or discontinued product lines, and potential risks to projected financial results. If the qualitative assessment indicates potential impairment, or if we elect to bypass it, a quantitative impairment test is performed.
The quantitative test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference, not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We determine the fair value of each reporting unit using a combination of the income approach, which applies a discounted cash flow methodology, and the market approach, which considers comparable company valuations.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are also tested for impairment using a similar process. We may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the asset’s fair value exceeds its carrying amount. If this assessment suggests potential impairment, or if we elect to bypass it, a quantitative impairment test is performed, comparing the asset’s fair value with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.
Intangible Assets
Our finite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships, non-compete agreements, software development costs, and certain tradenames and trademarks acquired through business combinations. These assets are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which reflect the period over which the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows.
We regularly evaluate the assigned amortization periods to ensure they remain appropriate. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the useful life of an asset may no longer be accurate, we revise our estimates accordingly. Additionally, finite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the asset’s fair value. Refer to Note 7, Acquired Intangible Assets and Goodwill, for further details.
Leases
We lease certain logistics, office, and manufacturing facilities, as well as vehicles, copiers and other equipment under long-term operating and financing leases with varying terms.
We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception of the agreement. Lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are recognized at commencement date. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid based on our incremental borrowing rate, as the rate implicit in the lease is generally not determinable. Lease payments include only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. Rent expense commences when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to us. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not assume renewals or early terminations unless it is reasonably certain we will exercise these options at commencement. ROU assets are measured based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for: (i) payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date; (ii) initial direct costs; and (iii) tenant incentives under the lease. The variable portion of the lease payments is not included in the right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. Rather, variable payments, other than those dependent upon an index or rate, are expensed when the obligation for those payments is incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet in accordance with the short-term lease recognition exemption.
We have elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead account for each as a single lease component. Accordingly, all expenses associated with a lease contract are accounted for as lease expenses.
Non-lease components for real estate leases primarily relate to common area maintenance, insurance, taxes, utilities and non-lease components for equipment, vehicles and leases within supply agreements primarily relate to usage, repairs, and maintenance.
We estimate the incremental borrowing rate based on the rates of interest that we would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, and in a similar economic environment. We use the unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjust that rate to approximate a collateralized rate, and apply the rate based on the currency of the lease, which is updated on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease liabilities. See Note 5, Leases, for additional details.
Accounting for Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.
We account for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. We recognize accrued interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits as part of Interest expense, and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as part of Other expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities. The carrying values of deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the application of our income tax accounting policies in accordance with applicable accounting standards, and are based on management’s assumptions and estimates regarding future operating results and levels of taxable income, as well as management’s judgment regarding the interpretation of the provisions of applicable accounting standards. The carrying values of liabilities for income taxes currently payable are based on management’s interpretations of applicable tax laws, and incorporate management’s assumptions and judgments regarding the use of tax planning strategies in various taxing jurisdictions. The use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments in connection with accounting for income taxes may result in materially different carrying values of income tax assets and liabilities and results of operations.
We evaluate the recoverability of these deferred tax assets by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income inherently rely heavily on estimates. We use our historical experience and our short-term and long-term business forecasts to provide insight. Further, our global business portfolio gives us the opportunity to employ various prudent and feasible tax planning strategies to facilitate the recoverability of future deductions. To the extent we do not consider it more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is established.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). We account for a contract with a customer when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party’s rights and payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled.
Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account.
Our performance obligations primarily include:
Product revenues – Product revenues are recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer or over time as the steel structure is being constructed at the customer site.
Service revenues – Service revenues are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company. Service revenues include certain construction, installation, and remodeling services. It also includes subscription services that are recognized over time as customers receive continuous access to the software and technical support.
Revenues transferred at a point-in-time accounted for 71%,70%, and 74% of total revenues for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively.
Revenues transferred over time accounted for 29%,30%, and 26% of total revenues for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively.
We enter into certain contracts with customers that may include multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated based on the standalone selling price.
For revenue recognized over time, we utilize the cost-to-cost input method as it provides the most accurate measure of when goods and services are transferred to the customer. Under this method, we estimate the costs to complete individual contracts and recognize revenue proportionately to the total contract price deemed complete, based on the relationship of costs incurred to date to total anticipated costs.
For performance obligations that are not complete at the reporting date, we recognize contract assets or contract liabilities. Contract assets include unbilled receivables and revenues in excess of billings and represent the rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that we have transferred to a customer. Unbilled receivables arise when revenue is recognized at a point in time before invoicing, representing an unconditional right to payment subject primarily to the passage of time. Revenues in excess of billings result from over-time revenue recognition, where we have an unconditional right to payment. Both unbilled receivables and revenues in excess of billings are recognized as accounts receivable when billed. Contract liabilities result from performance obligations recognized over time and represent the net balance of billings that already occurred in excess of revenue that was recognized. If a down payment is received from a customer before a project becomes active, it is recorded as a customer deposit within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Our payment terms are generally up to 90 days on an open account. These payment terms are customary for the industry and, in some cases, may include early payment incentives. Our contracts typically have durations of less than one year and do not contain significant financing components. We have elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good rather than a promised service. As a result, shipping and handling costs are recorded as expenses in the same period the revenue is recognized. Sales taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue and recorded as a liability until remitted to the appropriate tax authorities. Additionally, commissions paid to internal and external sales representatives for obtaining contracts are expensed as incurred, as our contracts are generally short-term in nature.
Product Warranties
We record a liability for product warranties at the time of the related sale of goods. The liability is estimated using historical warranty experience, projected claim rates and expected costs per claim. We adjust our liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and the exposure can be estimated. Product failure rates as well as material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure affect our warranty liabilities. If actual costs differ from estimated costs, we must make a revision to the warranty liability. Generally, we offer warranties ranging betweenone andthree years for our products with the exception of warranties for roofing at one of our business units, where we offer warranties of up to 10 years.
The activity related to product warranty liabilities recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities during the years ended January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, is as follows:
| (dollar amounts in millions) | |
|---|---|
| Balance at December 28, 2024 | $4.8 |
| Change in warranty provision | (0.4) |
| Warranty charges incurred | — |
| Balance at January 3, 2026 | $4.4 |
| Balance at December 30, 2023 | $2.3 |
|---|---|
| Change in warranty provision | 3.0 |
| Warranty charges incurred | (0.5) |
| Balance at December 28, 2024 | $4.8 |
Shipping and Handling (Product Revenues & Product Cost of Revenues)
We record amounts billed to customers in product revenue transactions, related to shipping and handling, as revenue earned for the goods provided. Shipping and handling costs are included in product cost of revenues. Shipping and handling costs were approximately $31.3, $35.0 and $38.1 for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively.
Advertising Costs
We record all advertising and trade show related costs to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income during the year they are incurred. These costs are included in selling and marketing operating expenses. During the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, we incurred and expensed advertising costs of $4.4, $4.6 and $3.8, respectively.
General and Administrative
We record corporate and business unit administrative personnel, facilities, professional services, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, and other operating activities in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Selling and Marketing
We record compensation and benefits of employees engaged in selling activities as well as related travel, advertising, trade shows/conventions, meals and entertainment expenses to selling and marketing expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Share-based Compensation
We recognize expense for share-based compensation plans based on the estimated fair value of the related awards in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Pursuant to our incentive stock plan, we can grant stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to employees and our non-employee directors. The majority of our awards are restricted stock units granted to employees, with vesting periods betweenone year andfour years. We charge compensation expense under the plan to earnings over each award’s individual vesting period. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. See Note 12, Equity Compensation, for additional information.
Treasury Stock
We account for treasury stock under the cost method pursuant to the provisions of ASC 505-30, “Treasury Stock”. Under the cost method, the gross cost of the shares reacquired is charged to a contra equity account, treasury stock. The equity accounts that were originally credited for the original share issuance, common stock and additional paid-in capital, remain intact.
If the treasury shares are ever reissued in the future at a price higher than its cost, the difference will be recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price lower than its cost, the difference will be recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital to the extent that there are previously recorded gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in additional paid-in-capital, the losses upon re-issuance of treasury stock are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. If treasury stock is reissued in the future, a cost flow assumption will be adopted to compute excesses and deficiencies upon subsequent share re-issuance.
Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted Earnings Per Share assumes the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of performance share awards using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive.
Deferred Financing Fees
Deferred financing fees consist of First Lien Term Loan and the ABL Credit and Guarantee Agreement costs, which are being amortized on the effective interest and straight-line method, respectively, over the life of the related debt. Debt issuances are more fully described in Note 9, Line of Credit, and Note 10, Long-Term Debt.
Fair Value Measurement
We use valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. A three-tiered hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. This hierarchy requires that we use observable market data, when available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value:
Level 1, observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2, inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly;
Level 3, unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires that the Company develop its own assumptions.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable less allowance for credit losses, and accounts payable approximate the carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of our debt is estimated using fair value-based risk measurements that are indirectly observable, such as credit risk that fall within Level 2 of the Fair Value hierarchy. Our debt approximates its carrying amount as of January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024 due to its variable interest rate that is tied to the current Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate plus an applicable margin (see Notes 9 and 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for a further discussion of our debt).
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an evaluation of recoverability is required, the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset group are compared to the asset group’s carrying amount to determine if an impairment is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. Impairment of $0.4 was recorded for the year ended January 3, 2026. No impairment was recorded for the year ended December 28, 2024.
Foreign Currency Translation
The local currency is the functional currency for all of our foreign operations. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet reporting date, while income and expenses are translated at the average monthly exchange rates during the period. Adjustments from translating financial statements in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are recorded in other comprehensive income. The income tax effect of currency translation adjustments related to foreign subsidiaries that are not considered indefinitely reinvested is recorded as a component of deferred taxes with an offset to other comprehensive income. We record gains and losses from changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the reporting location’s functional currency in Other income (expense), in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. We maintain cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed the insured limits of the local country. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. We sell our products and services mainly in the United States of America, Europe and Australia. We perform ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. We generally do not require our customers to provide collateral or other security to support accounts receivable.
As of January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024 , there were no customers that represented more than 10% of accounts receivable or more than 10% of revenues. As of January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, we had one vendor that accounted for 17% and 16% of all raw material and finished goods purchases, respectively. This vendor provides raw materials to us which can be sourced by alternative vendors should the need arise.
Segments
We manage our operations throughtwo operating and reportable segments: Janus North America and Janus International. These segments align our product and service offerings based on the geographic location between North America and International locations, which is consistent with how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews and evaluates our operations. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the financial performance of each operating segment. Our segments are strategic businesses that are managed separately because each one develops, manufactures and markets distinct products and services. Refer to Note 18, Segments Information, for further details.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s CODM uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted the guidance for the year ended December 28, 2024 and applied it retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon adoption, our disclosures regarding segment reporting were updated to comply with ASU 2023-07 and we have recast previously reported amounts across all reportable segments to conform to current segment presentation. The adoption of this ASU only affects our disclosures, with no impacts to our financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in a public entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and other disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We have reflected the impact of the adoption of this ASU in our Note 15, Income Taxes, within this Annual Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. ASU 2024-03 is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expense and provide more detailed information to investors about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our disclosures.
Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which have been adopted or will be adopted as applicable, management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

- Business Combination
Terminal Door Asset Acquisition
On May 17, 2024, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary Terminal Door, LLC (“Terminal Door”), acquired 100% of the business operations (such transaction, the “T.M.C. Acquisition”) of Smith T.M.C., Inc., a Georgia corporation, Jerry O. Smith Company, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, and J.O.S. Realty, Inc., a Georgia corporation (collectively, “T.M.C.” or the “T.M.C. Sellers”). Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement for such acquisition, Terminal Door acquired substantially all assets of the T.M.C. Sellers related to the business of trucking terminal renovation, construction, remodeling, and maintenance. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination.
The following tables summarize the fair value of consideration transferred and the recognized amount of identified assets acquired, and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Changes to gross carrying amount of recognized intangible assets due to translation adjustments include a gain of $1.0 and a loss of $0.3 for the years ended January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, respectively. Amortization expense was approximately $33.2, $32.0 and $29.8 for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively.
Impairment of Indefinite-Lived Tradenames and Trademarks
During the year ended January 3, 2026, we performed a quantitative impairment test for our annual assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible tradenames and trademarks. The quantitative test yielded an impairment of our ACT business unit tradename of approximately $0.3. The impairment was recorded in the caption “Impairment” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and is included within the North America segment. No other impairments were identified in the quantitative tests performed for the year ended January 3, 2026.
During the three months ended September 28, 2024, we experienced a revenue decline relative to expectations, historical performance, and strategic plans. This decrease was primarily driven by soft demand resulting from elevated interest rates and broader macroeconomic uncertainties, as well as a decline in stock price. Given these qualitative factors, we determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of the acquired assets could be impaired. Consequently, we performed a quantitative test of goodwill and indefinite-lived tradenames and trademarks as of September 28, 2024, ahead of the scheduled annual impairment test on September 29, 2024. This quantitative test yielded an impairment of $2.8 on the DBCI tradename.
In addition, on December 28, 2024, we implemented a strategic decision to focus the use of the DBCI tradename toward the Commercial markets on a go forward basis. The DBCI tradename will no longer be a focus within the self-storage industry. As a result of this strategic change, we performed an additional quantitative assessment of the DBCI tradename. We estimated the fair value of these intangible assets using the relief-from-royalty method which requires assumptions related to projected revenues from our long-range plans. This quantitative test indicated that the carrying value of the DBCI tradename exceeded its fair value, leading us to record a non-cash impairment of an additional $9.2 for a total impairment of $12.0 for the year ended December 28, 2024. The impairment was recorded in the caption “Impairment” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and is included within the North America segment.
The following table summarizes the aggregate expected amortization expense of definite-lived intangible assets as of January 3, 2026:
| (dollar amounts in millions) | |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $33.1 |
| 2027 | 33.1 |
| 2028 | 32.9 |
| 2029 | 32.3 |

Goodwill
We perform a quantitative test of goodwill for our annual impairment testing on the first day of the fourth quarter. We determined that it is more likely than not that the goodwill was not impaired for the years ended January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, respectively. The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill for the years ended January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024 were as follows:

- Line of Credit
2023 ABL Credit and Guarantee Agreement- We maintain a $125.0 revolving credit facility, pursuant to an ABL Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the “2023 LOC Agreement”). Interest payments with respect to the 2023 LOC Agreement are due in arrears. The maturity date is August 3, 2028.
The interest rate on the facility is based on a base rate, unless we choose an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the 2023 LOC Agreement). If the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is elected, the interest rate is equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, which includes a 10 basis points flat CSA, plus the SOFR Margin (as defined in the 2023 LOC Agreement) of either 1.25%,1.50%, or 1.75%, based on the Average Excess Availability (as defined in the 2023 LOC Agreement). As of January 3, 2026, the SOFR Margin Rate was 1.50%. If the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the 2023 LOC Agreement) is elected, the interest computation is equal to the Alternate Base Rate of the greatest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one month tenor plus 1.00%, or (c) the financial institution’s Prime Rate (as defined in the 2023 LOC Agreement), plus the Base Rate Margin (as defined in the 2023 LOC Agreement) of either 0.25%,0.50%, or 0.75% (as of January 3, 2026, the Base Rate Margin was 0.25%). At the beginning of each quarter, the applicable margin is set and determined based on the average net availability on the line of credit for the previous quarter. As of January 3, 2026, the Adjusted Term SOFR interest rate for the facility was 5.42%. The line of credit is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventories. We accrue an unused commitment fee to the administrative agent at the varying rate of 0.25% to 0.38%, based on the unused portion of the maximum commitment, as defined in the 2023 LOC Agreement.
Amortization of approximately $0.3, $0.2 and $0.3 was recognized for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. The unamortized portion of the fees, included in Other assets, as of January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, was approximately $0.6 and $0.9, respectively. There wereno borrowings outstanding on the line of credit as of January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024.
As of January 3, 2026, and December 28, 2024, our borrowing base capacity was $66.5 and $82.4, respectively.
As of January 3, 2026, and December 28, 2024, we maintained one letter of credit totaling approximately $0.4. The amount available on the revolving credit facility as of January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, was approximately $66.1, and $82.0, respectively.
- Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consists of the following for the periods presented:
| (dollar amounts in millions) | January 3, 2026 | December 28, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Note payable - First Lien | $551.0 | $598.5 |
| Finance leases | 2.2 | 3.4 |
| $553.2 | $601.9 | |
| Less: unamortized deferred financing fees | 7.5 | 9.9 |
| Less: current maturities | 6.9 | 8.8 |
| Total long-term debt | $538.8 | $583.2 |
Notes Payable - First Lien -As a result of a credit rating upgrade in March 2024, the First Lien term loan allowed the previous applicable margin rate to decrease from 3.25% to 3.00%. On April 18, 2024, we made a voluntary prepayment of $21.9 toward the First Lien Credit and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2018 (as amended to date, the “First Lien Term Loan”).
On April 30, 2024, we completed a repricing pursuant to Amendment No. 7 (the “2024 Repricing Amendment”) to the First Lien Term Loan. The 2024 Repricing Amendment reduced the applicable interest rate margins on the $600.0 First Lien Term Loan from 2.00% to 1.50% for the term loans bearing interest at rates based on the base rate, and from 3.00% to 2.50% for the term loans bearing interest at rates based on the secured overnight financing rate. In addition to the change in the applicable margin rate, we are no longer subject to a CSA rate of 0.10%. Interest is payable in arrears (with respect to Base Rate loans) or at the end of an interest period selected by us (with respect to SOFR loans). The outstanding loan balance is to be repaid on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original balance of the amended loan, with the remaining principal due on the maturity date of August 3, 2030. The debt was secured by substantially all of our business assets. There are no prepayment penalties if we make voluntary prepayments on the outstanding principal balance. The interest rate on the First Lien Term Loan as of January 3, 2026 was 6.32%, which is a variable rate based on Adjusted Term SOFR and includes an applicable margin percentage of 2.50%. The 2024 Repricing Amendment was accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt - “Modification and Extinguishment”. The First Lien Term Loan consists of a syndicate of lenders which were evaluated, for accounting purposes, as individual lenders. Certain lenders exited the Term Loan credit facility, which resulted in extinguishment accounting.
As a result, we wrote off an immaterial portion of unamortized debt financing costs associated with the First Lien Term Loan prior to the 2024 Repricing Amendment, that was deemed extinguished and recognized within “Loss on extinguishment and modification of debt” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In conjunction with the 2024 Repricing Amendment, during the year ended December 28, 2024, we incurred $1.7 of costs from third parties that did not qualify for capitalization of deferred financing costs, and were expensed within “Loss on extinguishment and modification of debt” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
During the year ended January 3, 2026, we made a voluntary prepayment of $40.0 on the 2024 Repricing Amendment. We used cash on hand to make the voluntary prepayment. As a result of the prepayment, we expensed an additional $0.6 of the unamortized debt issuance costs that were being amortized over the expected life of the borrowing.
Amortization of approximately $2.3, $2.2, and $3.4 was recognized for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023 respectively, as a component of interest expense. These amounts are inclusive of the additional costs affiliated with voluntary prepayment of principal balances.
During the year ended January 3, 2026, the Company’s finance lease obligation primarily consists of vehicle lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2029 with terms betweenone andfive years.
Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt and finance leases at January 3, 2026, are:
| (dollar amounts in millions) | |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $6.9 |
| 2027 | 6.8 |
| 2028 | 6.4 |
| 2029 | 6.1 |
| 2030 | 527.0 |
| Thereafter | — |
| Total | $553.2 |
- Defined Contribution Plan

Eligible employees may contribute up to the limits established by applicable income tax regulations. The Company made employer matching contributions of approximately $2.0, $2.1 and $1.9 for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively.
- Equity Compensation
2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan
We maintain our 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which we grant share-based awards to eligible directors, officers and employees in order to attract, retain, and reward such individuals and strengthen the mutuality of interest between such individuals and our stockholders. The Plan allows us to issue and grant 15,125,000 shares.
We measure compensation expense for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). During the year ended January 3, 2026, we granted share-based awards including restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) under the Plan. The grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs is equal to the closing price of our common stock on either: (i) the date of grant; or (ii) the previous trading day, depending on the level of administration required. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Unvested RSUs, PSUs, or stock options are forfeited upon a “Termination of Service,” as defined in the Plan, or as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement or determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). Share-based compensation expense is recognized straight-line over the respective vesting periods, reduced for actual forefeitures and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
In connection with these equity awards, share-based compensation expense was $16.2, $10.7 and $7.1 and the income tax benefit from share-based compensation was $2.3, $1.9 and $1.4, for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively.

Stock Options
Stock options are granted by applying a Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value on the grant date. Stock options are subject to a vesting period of either three orfour years. Stock option awards typically vest in 33% or 25% annual installments on each annual anniversary of the vesting commencement date for the duration of the vesting period, and expireten years from the grant date. The principal assumptions utilized in valuing stock options include the expected option life, the risk-free interest rate (an estimate based on the yield of United States Treasury zero coupon with a maturity equal to the expected life of the option), the expected stock price volatility using the historical and implied price volatility, and the expected dividend yield.
A summary of the assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock options for the year ended December 30, 2023 is below. There were no stock options granted for the years ended January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024.
| Year Ended | |
|---|---|
| December 30, 2023 | |
| Fair market value at grant date per share | $5.30 |
| Expected life of option (years) (1) | 6.0 |
| Risk-free interest rate (2) | 3.7% |
| Expected volatility of the Company’s stock (3) | 48.0% |
| Expected dividend yield on the Company’s stock | —% |
(1)Expected life is the weighted average of mid-point between vesting and expiry.
(2)The risk-free rate is based on an average of U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant corresponding with the expected term.
(3)Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities from a group of comparable entities for a time period similar to that of the expected term.
Stock options activity for the years ended January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024 is as follows:
| (amounts in millions, except share and per share data) | Stock Options | Weighted-Average Exercise Price, per share | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at December 30, 2023 | 719,525 | $9.4 | 8.4 | $2.0 |
| Granted | — | — | — | — |
| Exercised | (2,069) | — | — | — |
| Forfeited | (40,871) | — | — | — |
| Outstanding at December 28, 2024 | 676,585 | $9.4 | 7.4 | $— |
| Granted | — | — | — | — |
| Exercised | — | — | — | — |
| Forfeited | (38,630) | — | — | — |
| Outstanding at January 3, 2026 | 637,955 | $9.4 | 6.4 | $— |
| Outstanding, unvested | 160,024 | $9.4 | 6.4 | $— |
| Outstanding, vested | 477,931 | $9.4 | 6.4 | $— |
The intrinsic value of each option is the difference between the fair market value of our common stock and the exercise price of such option share to the extent it is “in-the-money”. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had they exercised their options on the last trading day of the year and sold the underlying shares at the closing stock price on such day. The intrinsic value calculation for fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 is less than the weighted average exercise price of $9.40, therefore these stock options haveno intrinsic value as of the years ended January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, respectively.
Total compensation expense related to stock options was approximately $0.6, $0.6, and $0.8 for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively. Total unamortized share-based compensation expense related to the unvested stock options was approximately $0.3, which the Company expects to amortize over a weighted-average period of 0.3 years. There wereno stock options exercised during the year ended January 3, 2026.
- Restructuring
During fiscal year 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to relocate one of its international facilities to further align its corporate strategy. During fiscal year 2024, we initiated a multi-phase restructuring plan to improve our operational efficiencies to support our corporate strategy. We incur costs associated with restructuring initiatives intended to improve operating performance, profitability, and efficiency of business processes. Restructuring expenses include severance costs, relocation costs, recruiting fees affiliated with hiring new personnel, legal costs, gain/loss on disposal of assets on closed facilities, and contract cancellation costs.
We record restructuring charges when they are probable and estimable. Restructuring costs are accrued upon announcement of the facility closure or restructuring event, and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Restructuring costs are included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Our restructuring expenses are comprised of the following for the periods presented:
| Year Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (dollar amounts in millions) | January 3, 2026 | December 28, 2024 | December 30, 2023 |

- Income Taxes
We are taxed as a Corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and similar sections of the state income tax laws. Our effective tax rate is based on pre-tax earnings, enacted U.S. statutory tax rates, non-deductible expenses, and certain tax rate differences between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The foreign pass-through subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.K., France, Australia, and Singapore as necessary, and the controlled foreign corporation subsidiaries file income tax returns in Poland and Canada, as necessary. We expect to continue to reinvest foreign earnings outside the U.S. indefinitely. Our provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and foreign income taxes.
The provision for income taxes for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 includes amounts related to entities within the Company taxed as corporations in the U.S., U.K., France, Australia, Singapore, Poland, China, and Canada. The income tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are recognized entirely within the period in which the event occurs.
During the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of approximately $22.6, $29.9 and $47.1, on pre-tax income of approximately $76.4, $100.3 and $182.8, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.6%,29.8% and 25.8%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, were primarily impacted by state income taxes (net of federal benefits), permanent differences, tax credits, and the statutory rate differential as well as the change in tax rates.
The carrying values of deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the application of our income tax accounting policies in accordance with applicable accounting standards, and are based on management’s assumptions and estimates regarding future operating results and levels of taxable income, as well as management’s judgment regarding the interpretation of the provisions of applicable accounting standards. The carrying values of liabilities for income taxes currently payable are based on management’s interpretations of applicable tax laws, and incorporate management’s assumptions, and judgments regarding the use of tax planning strategies in various taxing jurisdictions. The use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments in connection with accounting for income taxes may result in materially different carrying values of income tax assets and liabilities and results of operations.
We evaluate the recoverability of these deferred tax assets by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income inherently rely on estimates. We use our historical experience and our short-term and long-term business forecasts to provide insight. Further, our global business portfolio gives us the opportunity to employ various prudent and feasible tax planning strategies to facilitate the recoverability of future deductions. We believe it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded. To the extent we do not consider it more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is established.
We adopted ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosureson a prospective basis for the year ended January 3, 2026.
For the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, income before taxes consist of the following:

| Other | (0.3) | (0.8) |
| Total deferred tax liabilities | $(31.7) | $(19.8) |
| Net deferred tax asset | $9.8 | $35.2 |
(1) We have approximately $5.0 of net operating losses at the U.S. federal income tax level. The net operating losses do not expire. We also have approximately $8.6 million of net operating losses in the states in which we operate. The net operating losses will begin to expire if unutilized in approximately 16 years. Lastly, we have approximately $4.3 million of net operating losses in our foreign jurisdictions, primarily in the United Kingdom, which do not expire.
We regularly assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, both positive and negative. As of January 3, 2026, we concluded it was more likely than not that we will recognize the benefit for all of our deferred tax assets, primarily due to multiple years of profitability in our operations and the availability of taxable temporary differences which serve as a source of income.
We do not have any open income tax audits as of January 3, 2026. Additionally, U.S. federal and state income taxes for tax years 2022, 2023 and 2024 are still open for examination.
In accordance with the update requirements of ASU 2023-09 for the year ended 2025, cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds was as follows:

As previously disclosed, cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds for the years ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were $26.8 and $33.9, respectively.
There wereno material unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 or December 30, 2023.
We recognize accrued interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits as part of Interest expense, and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as part of Other expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
As of January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, we have recorded no material interest or penalties associated with our unrecognized tax benefits.
The difference between income tax expense recorded in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and income taxes computed by applying the corporate statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 is shown above.
In evaluating its ability to realize its net deferred tax assets, we considered all available positive and negative evidence, including its past operating results, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return.
We are required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. For the years before 2022, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations, and for the years before 2021, we are no longer subject to state income tax examinations.
- Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. For the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, dilutive potential common shares include stock options and unvested RSUs. Dilutive earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes all common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented:
| Year Ended | |||

| Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders | $0.38 | $0.49 | $0.92 |
- Share Repurchase Program
On February 28, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, pursuant to which we were authorized to purchase up to $100.0 of our common stock. On May 15, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized an incremental increase of $75.0 to our share repurchase program. The repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. As of January 3, 2026, there is $80.5 remaining under the share repurchase program.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposes a 1% excise tax on share repurchases in excess of issuances, which is effective for share repurchases completed after December 31, 2022. We reflect the excise tax within equity as part of the repurchase of the common stock.
The following table presents the share repurchase activity for the periods presented:

- Segments Information
We operate and report our results throughtwo geographic-based reportable segments: Janus North America and Janus International, in accordance with ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”.
The Janus North America segment is comprised of the following entities: Janus Core, BETCO, NOKE, ASTA, ACT, U.S. Door, Janus Door, Steel Door Depot, Janus Canada, and Terminal Door.
The Janus International reportable segment is comprised of Janus Europe Holdings and its subsidiaries with its production and sales located primarily in U.K., Australia, Poland, and France.
This segment structure reflects how the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who has been identified as the CODM, evaluates performance and allocates resources. Key business strategies, strategic objectives, and competitive decisions are determined at the geographical level (North America and International) rather than by product lines, functional divisions, or business units. The CEO primarily assesses segment performance and allocates resources, including personnel, property, and financial or capital resources, using gross profit and adjusted EBITDA. Budget-to-actual variances are reviewed monthly to assess performance and allocate resources.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization, and other non-operational, non-recurring items. We use adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess operating performance, develop future operating plans, and make strategic decisions related to operating expenses and resource allocation, among others.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations. Those matters include the following:
General Litigation
We are subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Self-Insurance
Under our workers’ compensation insurance program, coverage is obtained for catastrophic exposures under which we retain a portion of certain expected losses. We have stop loss workers’ compensation insurance for claims in excess of $0.2 as of both January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024. Provision for losses expected under this program are recorded based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred but not reported, which totaled approximately $0.5 and $0.9 as of January 3, 2026, and December 28, 2024, respectively. The amount of actual losses incurred could differ materially from the estimates reflected in these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Under our health insurance program, coverage is obtained for catastrophic exposures under which we retain a portion of certain expected losses. We have stop loss insurance for claims in excess of $0.3 as of both January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024. Provision for losses expected under this program are recorded based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred but not reported, which totaled approximately $1.7 and $1.4 as of January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, respectively. The amount of actual losses incurred could differ materially from the estimates reflected in these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Unconditional Purchase Obligations
The Company has entered into certain unconditional purchase obligations with steel suppliers and under certain software agreements. Those agreements are non-cancelable and specify terms including fixed minimum quantities to be purchased, price provisions, and the terms of payment. We enter into these unconditional purchase obligation arrangements in the normal course of business to ensure that adequate levels of sourced product are available to us and as of January 3, 2026, unconditional purchase obligations were $10.3. Management expects to remit $8.4 of unconditional purchase obligations related to the supply contracts in the fiscal year 2026.
- Subsequent Events
For the Consolidated Financial Statements as of January 3, 2026, we have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements. Except for the following, there are no subsequent events identified that would require disclosure in the financial statements.
Kiwi II Acquisition
On January 8, 2026, we entered into, and closed the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 8, 2026 (the “Kiwi Agreement”) with Kiwi II Construction Inc., a California corporation (“Kiwi Construction”), Kiwi II East Inc., a Tennessee corporation (“Kiwi East”), Metal Tech, Inc., a California corporation (“Metal Tech” and, together with Kiwi Construction and Kiwi East, the “Kiwi Sellers”), certain individuals (the “Beneficial Owners” and, together with the Kiwi Sellers, the “Kiwi Seller Parties”). As consideration for the Kiwi Acquisition, the Company paid approximately $97.2 in cash to the Kiwi Seller Parties.
Repricing
On February 2, 2026, we completed a repricing pursuant to Amendment No. 8 (the “2026 Repricing Amendment”) to our First Lien Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the “First Lien”), dated as of February 12, 2018, by and among Janus Intermediate, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours (“Janus Intermediate”), Janus International Group, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours (“Janus International”), Goldman Sachs Bank USA (as successor to UBS AG, Stamford Branch), as administrative agent and collateral agent and the other parties thereto. The 2026 Repricing Amendment reduces the applicable interest rate margins on the First Lien’s term loans by 50 basis points to 1.00% (for the term loans bearing interest at rates based on the base rate) and to 2.00% (for the term loans bearing interest at rates based on the secured overnight financing rate).
IEEPA Tariffs
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, striking down certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). The ultimate availability, timing, and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs remain highly uncertain and are subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative developments. Following the Supreme Court’s decision, the Trump Administration implemented a 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026 for a period of 150 days. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the duration of existing and newly announced tariffs, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, tariff levels, and whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on our business. We continue to monitor and evaluate these developments and assess their potential impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
