Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(a)	Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as related disclosures. Significant items that are subject to such estimates and judgments include allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, long-lived and intangible assets, warranty reserves, insurance reserves, income tax reserves and post-retirement obligations. On an ongoing basis, the company evaluates its estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest December 31. Fiscal years 2018, 2017, and 2016 ended on December 29, 2018, December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, with each year including 52 weeks.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with current year presentation, including the non-operating components of pension benefit previously reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses to Net periodic pension benefit (other than service cost).


(b)	Cash and Cash Equivalents

The company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The company’s policy is to invest its excess cash in interest-bearing deposits with major banks that are subject to minimal credit and market risk.


(c)	Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable, as shown in the consolidated balance sheets, are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $13.6 million and $13.2 million at December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively. At December 29, 2018, all accounts receivable are expected to be collected within one year.

(d) Inventories

Inventories are composed of material, labor and overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs for inventory have been determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. The company estimates reserves for inventory obsolescence and shrinkage based on its judgment of future realization. Inventories at December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 are as follows:



	2018		2017
	(dollars in thousands)
Raw materials and parts	$	245,976	$	180,559
Work in process	51,164		38,917
Finished goods	224,670		205,163
	$	521,810	$	424,639


(e)	Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost as follows:



	2018			2017
	(dollars in thousands)
Land	$	32,523		$	28,996
Building and improvements	196,743			175,678
Furniture and fixtures	64,586			54,362
Machinery and equipment	188,454			165,157
	482,306			424,193
Less accumulated depreciation	(167,737		)	(142,278		)
	$	314,569		$	281,915

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives based on management's estimates of the period over which the assets will be utilized to benefit the operations of the company. The useful lives are estimated based on historical experience with similar assets, taking into account anticipated technological or other changes. The company periodically reviews these lives relative to physical factors, economic factors and industry trends. If there are changes in the planned use of property and equipment or if technological changes were to occur more rapidly than anticipated, the useful lives assigned to these assets may need to be shortened, resulting in the recognition of increased depreciation and amortization expense in future periods.

Following is a summary of the estimated useful lives:



Description		Life
Building and improvements		20 to 40 years
Furniture and fixtures		3 to 7 years
Machinery and equipment		3 to 10 years

Depreciation expense amounted to $35.8 million, $29.7 million and $26.2 million in fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Expenditures which significantly extend useful lives are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Asset impairments are recorded whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value of an asset is greater than the sum of its expected future undiscounted cash flows.


(f)	Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The company’s business acquisitions result in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are a significant portion of the company’s total assets. The company recognizes goodwill and other intangible assets under the guidance of ASC Topic 350-10, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Identifiable intangible assets are recognized separately from goodwill and include trademarks and trade names, technology, customer relationships and other specifically identifiable assets. Trademarks and trade names are deemed to be indefinite-lived. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are subject to impairment testing.

The company performs the annual impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of first day of the fourth quarter and more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. The company initially performs a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the goodwill balance or indefinite-life intangible asset is impaired. In conducting a qualitative assessment, the Company analyzes a variety of events or factors that may influence the fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite-life intangible, including, but not limited to: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, share price and other relevant factors.

If an indicator of impairment is determined from the qualitative analysis, then the company will perform a two-step quantitative analysis. First, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the company performs a hypothetical purchase price allocation based on the reporting unit’s fair value to determine the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Any resulting difference will be a charge to Impairment of intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the period in which the determination is made. Fair value is determined using a combination of present value techniques and market prices of comparable businesses.

The company completed its annual impairment test for goodwill as of September 30, 2018. The company performed a qualitative assessment to evaluate goodwill for all reporting units. Based on the qualitative assessment it was determined there was no impairment of goodwill. The company has not recognized any goodwill impairments and therefore no accumulated impairment loss.

Goodwill is allocated to the business segments as follows (in thousands):



	Commercial Foodservice			Food Processing			Residential Kitchen			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2016	$	542,090		$	134,680		$	415,952		$	1,092,722

Exchange effect	(14,857		)	(4,169		)	(13,027		)	(32,053		)

Balance as of December 29, 2018	$	1,102,067		$	219,054		$	422,054		$	1,743,175

Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):



	December 29, 2018						December 30, 2017
	Estimated Weighted Avg Remaining Life	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Estimated Weighted Avg Remaining Life	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Amortized intangible assets:
Customer relationships	9.5	$	644,145	$	(222,661	)	5.2	$	330,496	$	(171,005	)
Backlog	2.8	27,065		(24,755		)	0.8	19,689		(18,081		)
Developed technology	5.9	39,624		(20,998		)	4.2	22,485		(18,248		)
		$	710,834	$	(268,414	)		$	372,670	$	(207,334	)
Indefinite-lived assets:
Trademarks and tradenames		$	918,604					$	615,090

The company completed its annual impairment for other intangibles as of September 30, 2018. We identified indicators of impairment associated with certain tradenames in within the Food Processing and Residential Kitchen reporting units based on the qualitative assessment, which required the completion of a quantitative impairment assessment. The primary indicator of impairment was lower than expected revenue performance in the current year. Based on the results of the quantitative assessment, the company determined there was no impairment of any of the indefinite-lived intangible assets.

In performing the quantitative assessment of indefinite-life intangible assets, primarily tradenames, the company estimated the fair value using the relief-from-royalty method which requires assumptions related to projected revenues; assumed royalty rates that could be payable if we did not own the brand; and a market participant discount rate based on a weighted-average cost of capital.

The company elected to perform a qualitative assessment on the other indefinite-life intangible assets noting no events that indicated that the fair value was less than carrying value that would require a quantitative impairment assessment.

The estimates of future cash flows used in determining the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets involve significant management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance, economic conditions, market conditions and cost of capital. Inherent in estimating the future cash flows are uncertainties beyond our control, such as changes in capital markets. The actual cash flows could differ materially from management's estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions.

During 2017 testing, the company determined that the Viking tradename, within the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group, was impaired. The company estimated the fair value of the tradename using a relief from royalty method under the income approach. The decline in fair value of the Viking tradename was primarily the result of weaker than expected revenue performance in 2017 and a corresponding reduction of future revenue expectations. The impairment resulted from the decline in revenues attributable, in part, to the product recall announced in 2015 related to products manufactured prior to the acquisition of Viking. The fair value of the Viking tradename was estimated to be $93.0 million as compared to the carrying value of $151.0 million and resulted in a $58.0 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge.

The aggregate intangible amortization expense was $60.0 million, $38.6 million and $29.9 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):



2019	$	59,995
2020	59,079
2021	55,190
2022	51,184
2023	44,276
2024 and thereafter	172,696

(h)	Litigation Matters

From time to time, the company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to products, suppliers, employees, customers and competitors. The company maintains insurance to partially cover product liability, workers compensation, property and casualty, and general liability matters. The company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of accrual required, if any, for these contingencies is made after assessment of each matter and the related insurance coverage. The required accrual may change in the future due to new developments or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters. The company does not believe that any such matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the company.


(i)	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

(1) As of December 29, 2018 pension and interest rate swap amounts are net of tax of $(36.7) million and $2.5 million, respectively. During the twelve months ended December 29, 2018, the adjustments to pension benefit costs and unrealized gain/(loss) interest rate swap were net of tax of $6.9 million and $(1.7) million, respectively.

(2) As of December 31, 2017, the company adopted ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the reclassification of $1.1 million of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

(j) Fair Value Measures

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions

The company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are categorized using the fair value hierarchy at December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 are as follows (in thousands):



	Fair Value Level 1		Fair Value Level 2		Fair Value Level 3		Total
As of December 29, 2018
Financial Assets:
Interest rate swaps	$	—	$	13,487	$	—	$	13,487

Financial Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	—	$	4,125	$	—	$	4,125
Contingent consideration	$	—	$	—	$	3,566	$	3,566

As of December 30, 2017
Financial Assets:
Interest rate swaps	$	—	$	10,266	$	—	$	10,266

Financial Liabilities:
Contingent consideration	$	—	$	—	$	1,780	$	1,780

The contingent consideration, as of December 29, 2018, relates to the earnout provisions recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of Josper. The contingent consideration, as of December 30, 2017, relates to the earnout provisions recorded in conjunction with the acquisitions of Desmon and Scanico.

The earnout provisions associated with these acquisitions are based upon performance measurements related to sales and earnings, as defined in the respective purchase agreements. On a quarterly basis, the company assesses the projected results for each of the acquisitions in comparison to the earnout targets and adjusts the liability accordingly.


(k)	Foreign Currency

Foreign currency transactions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 830 Foreign Currency Translation. The income statements of the company’s foreign operations are translated at the monthly average rates. Assets and liabilities of the company’s foreign operations are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet date. These translation adjustments are not included in determining net income for the period but are disclosed and accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Exchange gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in determining net income for the period in which they occur. These transactions amounted to a loss of $2.6 million, $2.4 million and $1.9 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are included in other expense on the statements of earnings.


(l)	Shipping and Handling Costs

Fees billed to the customer for shipping and handling are classified as a component of net revenues. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold.


(m)	Warranty Costs

In the normal course of business, the company issues product warranties for specific product lines and provides for the estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recorded. The estimate of warranty cost is based on contract terms and historical warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, claims costs may differ from amounts provided. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties are made as changes in the obligations become reasonably estimable.

A rollforward of the warranty reserve for the fiscal years 2018 and 2017 are as follows:



	2018			2017
	(dollars in thousands)
Beginning balance	$	52,834		$	40,851
Warranty reserve related to acquisitions	5,884			7,769
Warranty expense	62,314			58,398
Warranty claims paid	(61,581		)	(54,184		)
Ending balance	$	59,451		$	52,834


(n)	Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs, included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of earnings, are charged to expense when incurred. These costs were $35.3 million, $29.1 million and $26.3 million in fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


(o)	Non-Cash Share-Based Compensation

The company estimates the fair value of restricted share grants and stock options at the time of grant and recognizes compensation costs over the vesting period of the awards and options. Non-cash share-based compensation expense of $2.5 million, $6.2 million and $27.9 million was recognized for fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, associated with restricted share grants. The company recorded a related tax benefit of $0.0 million, $2.4 million and $10.5 million in fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

As of December 29, 2018, there was $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted share grant compensation arrangements, which will be recognized over a weighted average life of 1.17 years.

Share grant awards not subject to market conditions for vesting are valued at the closing share price of the company’s stock as of the date of the grant. The company issued 132,038 and 76,788 restricted share grant awards in 2018 and 2017, respectively, with a fair value of $13.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Share grant awards issued in 2018 and 2017 are generally performance based and were not subject to market conditions. The fair value of $100.50 and $136.29 per share for the awards for 2018 and 2017, respectively, represent the closing share price of the company’s stock as of the date of grant.


(p)	Earnings Per Share

“Basic earnings per share” is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding, and “diluted earnings per share” is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and other dilutive securities.

The company’s potentially dilutive securities consist of shares issuable on exercise of outstanding options and vesting of restricted stock grants computed using the treasury method and amounted to 28,000, 4,000, and 55,000 for fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There were no anti-dilutive equity awards excluded from common stock equivalents for 2018, 2017 or 2016.


(q)	Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Cash paid for interest was $55.3 million, $25.9 million and $21.0 million in fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Cash payments totaling $79.0 million, $123.3 million, and $89.0 million were made for income taxes during fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


(r)	New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements - Recently Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounts Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update amends the current guidance on revenue recognition related to contracts with customers and requires additional disclosures. We adopted this guidance on December 31, 2017 using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was $4.4 million. For additional information related to the impact of adopting this guidance, see above (l) revenue recognition.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in ASU-15 address eight specific cash flow classification issues to reduce current and potential future diversity in practice. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which requires companies to account for the income tax effect of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Under previous guidance the income tax effects of intercompany transfers of assets were deferred until the asset had been sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in ASU-01 clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The amendments in ASU-07 require that an employer report the service costs component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. We adopted this guidance retrospectively on December 31, 2017 using the practical expedient which permits utilizing amounts previously disclosed in its employee retirement plans note as the prior period estimation basis for the required retrospective presentation requirements. For additional information on the adoption of this guidance, see Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This guidance allows for the reclassification of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Accounting Pronouncements - To be adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with a duration of one year or more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or operating lease liability. The FASB issued multiple amendments to the standard which provide clarification, additional guidance, practical expedients and other improvements to the ASU. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The company plans to utilize the new optional transition method to use the effective date as the date of initial application on transition. As a result the company will not adjust its comparative period financial information or make the new required leases disclosures for periods before the effective date. The company has elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs. The company developed a project plan for implementation, surveyed the company's business, assessed the company's portfolio of leases and compiled a central repository of all leases. The company has also selected a lease accounting software solution to support the new reporting requirements and has loaded required lease data elements into the software solution. To ensure completeness of the population of leases, the company cross referenced year end disclosure information, recorded lease expense and survey responses from the businesses. The company has identified and implemented appropriate changes to policies, procedures and controls pertaining to its existing and future lease arrangements to support recognition and disclosure requirements under the new standard.

The company continues to assess the effects of adoption on the financial statements and believes the most material impact will be the recognition of new right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for operating leases. The company expects to recognize of $80.0 million to $90.0 million of right-of-use assets upon adoption and lease liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The lease liabilities to be recognized will be measured based upon the present value of minimum future payments and the ROU assets to be recognized will be equal to lease liabilities, adjusted for prepaid and accrued rent balances which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2018. The company does not anticipate the new standard will have a significant impact on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. There will also be no impact on existing debt covenants.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in ASU-04 simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, by removing the second step of the goodwill impairment test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for testing dates after January 1, 2017. The company is evaluating the application of this ASU on the company's annual impairment test. The company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in ASU-12 provide new guidance about income statement classification and eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. The entire change in fair value for qualifying hedge instruments included in the effectiveness will be recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and amounts deferred in OCI will be reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods with those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impacts the ASU will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in ASU-08 simplify several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods with those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU-13 remove, modify and add various disclosure requirements around the topic in order to clarify and improve the cost-benefit nature of disclosures. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods with those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20). The amendments in ASU-14 remove, modify and add various disclosure requirements around the topic in order to clarify and improve the cost-benefit nature of disclosures. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods with those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this ASU will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The amendments in ASU-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a service contract hosting arrangement with those of developing or obtaining internal-use software. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods with those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard, but rather, should be accounted for in accordance with the lease standard. This ASU has the same transition requirements and effective date as ASU No. 2016-13. The company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition (Notes)

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

REVENUE RECOGNITION

On December 31, 2017, we adopted the new accounting standard ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of December 30, 2017. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

The adoption of ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle that will also provide readers with enhanced revenue recognition disclosures. Revenue is recognized when the control of the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and represents the unit of account in ASC 606. A contracts transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The company’s contracts can have multiple performance obligations or just a single performance obligation. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the contracts transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation using the company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract.

Within the Commercial Foodservice Equipment and Residential Foodservice Equipment Groups, the estimated standalone selling price of equipment is based on observable prices. Within the Food Processing Equipment Group, the company estimates the standalone selling price based on expected cost to manufacture the good or complete the service plus an appropriate profit margin.

Control may pass to the customer over time or at a point in time. In general, the Commercial Foodservice Equipment and Residential Foodservice Equipment Groups recognize revenue at the point in time control transfers to their customers based on contractual shipping terms. Revenue from equipment sold under our long-term contracts within the Food Processing Equipment group is recognized over time as the equipment is manufactured and assembled. Installation services provided in connection with the delivery of the equipment are also generally recognized as those services are rendered. Over time transfer of control is measured using an appropriate input measure (e.g., costs incurred or direct labor hours incurred in relation to total estimate). These measures include forecasts based on the best information available and therefore reflect the company's judgment to faithfully depict the transfer of the goods.

Contract Estimates

Accounting for long-term contracts within the Food Processing Equipment group involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue and costs. For the company’s long-term contracts, estimated profit for the equipment performance obligations is recognized as the equipment is manufactured and assembled. Profit on the equipment performance obligations is estimated as the difference between the total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete a contract. Contract cost estimates are based on labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed; the cost and availability of materials and labor, and the performance of subcontractors.

Contracts within the Commercial Foodservice and Residential Foodservice Equipment groups may contain variable consideration in the form of volume rebate programs. The company’s estimate of variable consideration is based on its experience with similarly situated customers using the portfolio approach.

Practical Expedients and Policy Elections

The company has taken advantage of the following practical expedients:


•	The company does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.


•	The company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.


•	As the company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component.

The company has made the following accounting policy elections permitted by ASC 606:


•	The company treats shipping and handling activities performed after the customer obtains control of the good as a contract fulfillment activity.


•	Sales, use and value added taxes assessed by governmental authorities are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price within the company’s contracts with its customers.

Adoption of ASC 606

As a result of the adoption of ASC 606, the company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below.

Equipment

Under the company’s historical accounting policies, revenue under long-term sales contracts within the Food Processing Equipment Group was recognized using the percentage of completion method. Upon adoption, a number of contracts that were not completed as of December 31, 2017 did not meet the requirements for recognition of revenue over time under ASC 606. As such the revenue is deferred and recognized at a point in time.

Installation Services

Under the company’s historical accounting policies, the company used the completed contract method for installation services associated with equipment sold within the Food Processing Equipment Group. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from installation services over the period the services are rendered.

Product Maintenance

These services are generally recognized on a straight-line basis, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit as we perform the services.

The cumulative effect of the changes made to our December 30, 2017 Consolidated Balance Sheet for the adoption of ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of December 30, 2017 were as follows (in thousands):

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate our net sales by reportable operating segment and geographical location as we believe it best depicts how the nature, timing and uncertainty of our net sales and cash flows are affected by economic factors. In general, the Commercial Foodservice Equipment and Residential Foodservice Equipment Groups recognize revenue at the point in time control transfers to their customers based on contractual shipping terms. Revenue from equipment sold under our long-term contracts within the Food Processing Equipment group is recognized over time as the equipment is manufactured and assembled. The following table summarizes our net sales by reportable operating segment and geographical location (in thousands):

Contract Balances

Contract assets primarily relate to the company's right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date and are recorded in prepaid expenses and other in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Accounts receivable are not considered contract assets under the new revenue standard as contract assets are conditioned upon the company's future satisfaction of a performance obligation. Accounts receivable, in contracts, are unconditional rights to consideration.

Contract liabilities relate to advance consideration received from customers for which revenue has not been recognized. Current contract liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Non-current contract liabilities are recorded in other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities are reduced when the associated revenue from the contract is recognized.

The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands):



	As of December 29, 2018		At Adoption
Contract assets	$	14,048	$	16,753
Contract liabilities	$	57,913	$	47,647
Non-current contract liabilities	$	12,170	$	1,859

During the twelve months period ended December 29, 2018, the company reclassified $14.2 million to receivable which was included in the contract asset balance at the beginning of the period. During the twelve months period ended December 29, 2018, the company recognized revenue of $47.5 million which was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. Additions to contract liabilities representing amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date were $57.0 million during the twelve months period ended December 29, 2018. The increase in the non-current contract liabilities primarily relates to companies acquired during the twelve months period ended December 29, 2018, and relates principally to contracts for maintenance services. Substantially all of the company's outstanding performance obligations will be satisfied within 12 to 36 months. There were no contract asset impairments during twelve months period ended December 29, 2018.

FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The following is a summary of long-term debt at December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017:



	2018		2017

Long-term debt	$	1,888,898	$	1,023,732

On July 28, 2016, the company entered into an amended and restated five year $2.5 billion multi-currency senior secured revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility"). On December 18, 2018, the company entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility, increasing the revolving commitments under the Credit Facility by $500.0 million to a total of $3.0 billion. As of December 29, 2018, the company had $1,887.8 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, including $1,814.0 million of borrowings in U.S. Dollars and $73.8 million of borrowings denominated in Euro. The company also has $12.1 million in outstanding letters of credit as of December 29, 2018, which reduces the borrowing availability under the Credit Facility. Remaining borrowing availability under this facility was $1.1 billion at December 29, 2018.

At December 29, 2018, borrowings under the Credit Facility accrued interest at a rate of 1.63% above LIBOR per annum or 0.63% above the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and one month LIBOR plus 1.00%. The average interest rate per annum on the debt under the Credit Facility was equal to 4.08% for 2018. The interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility may be adjusted quarterly based on the company’s Funded Debt Less Unrestricted Cash to Pro Forma EBITDA (the "Leverage Ratio") on a rolling four-quarter basis. Additionally, a commitment fee based upon the Leverage Ratio is charged on the unused portion of the commitments under the Credit Facility. This variable commitment fee was equal to 0.25% per annum as of December 29, 2018.

In addition, the company has other international credit facilities to fund working capital needs outside the United States and the United Kingdom. At December 29, 2018, these foreign credit facilities amounted to $4.2 million in U.S. Dollars with a weighted average per annum interest rate of approximately 5.76%.

The company’s debt is reflected on the balance sheet at cost. The company believes its interest rate margins on its existing debt are consistent with current market conditions and, therefore, the carrying value of debt reflects the fair value. The interest rate margin is based on the company's Leverage Ratio.

The company estimated the fair value of its loans by calculating the upfront cash payment a market participant would require to assume the company’s obligations. The upfront cash payment is the amount that a market participant would be able to lend to achieve sufficient cash inflows to cover the cash outflows under the company’s senior secured revolving credit facility assuming the facility was outstanding in its entirety until maturity. Since the company maintains its borrowings under a revolving credit facility and there is no predetermined borrowing or repayment schedule, for purposes of this calculation the company calculated the fair value of its obligations assuming the current amount of debt at the end of the period was outstanding until the maturity of the company’s Credit Facility in July 2021. Although borrowings could be materially greater or less than the current amount of borrowings outstanding at the end of the period, it is not practical to estimate the amounts that may be outstanding during future periods. The carrying value and estimated aggregate fair value, a level 2 measurement, based primarily on market prices, of debt is as follows (in thousands):



	December 29, 2018				December 30, 2017
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Total debt	$	1,892,105	$	1,892,105	$	1,028,881	$	1,028,881

The company uses floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge variable interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility. At December 29, 2018, the company had outstanding floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps totaling $999.0 million of notional amount carrying an average interest rate of 2.17% that mature in more than 12 months but less than 72 months.

The terms of the Credit Facility limit the ability of the company and its subsidiaries to, with certain exceptions: incur indebtedness; grant liens; engage in certain mergers, consolidations, acquisitions and dispositions; make restricted payments; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and requires, among other things, the company to satisfy certain financial covenants: (i) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a maximum Leverage Ratio of Funded Debt less Unrestricted Cash to Pro Forma EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Facility) of 3.50 to 1.00, which may be adjusted to 4.00 to 1.00 for a four consecutive fiscal quarter period in connection with certain qualified acquisitions, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Middleby Marshall, the company and the company's domestic subsidiaries and is unconditionally guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, the company and certain of the company's direct and indirect material foreign and domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Facility contains certain customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make required payments; bankruptcy and other insolvency events; the failure to perform certain covenants; the material breach of a representation or warranty; non-payment of certain other indebtedness; the entry of undischarged judgments against the company or any subsidiary for the payment of material uninsured amounts; the invalidity of the company guarantee or any subsidiary guaranty; and a change of control of the company. At December 29, 2018, the company was in compliance with all covenants pursuant to its borrowing agreements.

The aggregate amount of debt payable during each of the next five years is as follows (in thousands):



2019	$	3,207

The company’s effective tax rate for 2018 was 25.1% as compared to 22.3% in 2017. The effective tax rate for 2018 includes the continuing impact of complying with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Tax Act); including a reduction in the federal tax rate to 21.0%, the move to a territorial U.S. tax system, certain expenses now being non-deductible and additional taxes or benefits under GILTI, BEAT and FDII. The effective tax rate for 2017 included the impact of the provisional estimates for the transition tax and deferred tax rate changes under the Tax Act and favorable benefits for the adoption of ASU 2016-09 “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” and valuation allowance reversal. The company elects to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost.

During 2018, the company finalized the transition tax and deferred tax rate changes under the Tax Act with the filing of its 2017 tax returns. The changes to provisional estimates resulted in a 0.1% increase in the effective rate. The company fully paid its transition tax liability in 2018.

At December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, the company had recorded the following deferred tax assets and liabilities:

The company has recorded tax reserves on undistributed foreign earnings not permanently reinvested of $4.1 million and $3.9 million at December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively. No further provisions were made for income taxes that may result from future remittances of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are determined to be permanently reinvested, which were $241.0 million on December 29, 2018. Determination of the total amount of unrecognized deferred income taxes on undistributed earnings net of foreign subsidiaries is not practicable.

The company has a deferred tax asset on net operating loss carryforwards totaling $36.6 million as of December 29, 2018. These net operating losses are available to reduce future taxable earnings of certain domestic and foreign subsidiaries. United States federal loss carryforwards total $14.6 million and expire through 2037, state loss carryforwards total $88.0 million and expire through 2038 and international loss carryforwards total $101.4 million and expire through 2030; however, some have no expiration date. Of these carryforwards, $98.9 million is subject to full valuation allowance.

As of December 29, 2018, the total amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $31.9 million (of which $31.6 million would impact the effective tax rate if recognized) plus approximately $5.1 million of accrued interest and $8.1 million of penalties. The company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest recognized in fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Penalties recognized in fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $0.6 million, $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Although the company believes its tax returns are correct, the final determination of tax examinations may be different than what was reported on the tax returns. In the opinion of management, adequate tax provisions have been made for the years subject to examination.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the unrecognized tax benefits for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, December 30, 2017 and December 29, 2018 (in thousands):



Balance at December 31, 2016	$	20,289

Increases to current year tax positions	11,843
Increase to prior year tax positions	201
Decrease to prior year tax positions	(9		)
Settlements	(439		)

Decrease to prior year tax positions	(569		)
Lapse of statute of limitations	(4,221		)

Balance at December 29, 2018	$	31,912

It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits associated with state, federal and foreign tax positions may decrease over the next twelve months due to expiration of a statute or completion of an audit. The company believes that it is reasonably possible that $6.3 million of its remaining unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized by the end of 2019 as a result of settlements with taxing authorities or lapses of statutes of limitations.

In the normal course of business, income tax authorities in various income tax jurisdictions both in the United States and internationally conduct routine audits of our income tax returns filed in prior years. These audits are generally designed to determine if individual income tax authorities are in agreement with our interpretations of complex tax regulations regarding the allocation of income to the various income tax jurisdictions. Income tax years are open from 2014 through the current year for the United States federal jurisdiction. Income tax years open for our other major jurisdictions range from 2013 through the current year.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify as a hedge must be adjusted to fair value in earnings. If the derivative does qualify as a hedge under ASC 815, changes in the fair value will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments or recognized in other accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a hedge's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.


(a)	Foreign Exchange

The company periodically enters into derivative instruments, principally forward contracts to reduce exposures pertaining to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The fair value of these forward contracts was an unrealized loss of $0.9 million at the end of the year.


(b)	Interest Rate

The company has entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of its variable-rate debt. The agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. The company has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair value of these instruments was an asset of $9.4 million and $10.3 million as of December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively. The change in fair value of these swap agreements in 2018 was a loss of $0.8 million, net of taxes.

A summary of the company’s interest rate swaps is as follows (in thousands):



		Twelve Months Ended
	Location	Dec 29, 2018			Dec 30, 2017
Fair value	Other assets	$	9,362		$	10,266

Gain/(loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (effective portion)	Interest expense	$	415		$	(939	)
Gain/(loss) recognized in income (ineffective portion)	Other expense	$	72		$	54

Interest rate swaps are subject to default risk to the extent the counterparty is unable to satisfy its settlement obligations under the interest rate swap agreements. The company reviews the credit profile of the financial institutions that are counterparties to such swap agreements and assesses their creditworthiness prior to entering into the interest rate swap agreements and throughout the term. The interest rate swap agreements typically contain provisions that allow the counterparty to require early settlement in the event that the company becomes insolvent or is unable to maintain compliance with its covenants under its existing debt agreement.

Employee Retirement Plans

EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

(a)Pension Plans

U.S. Plans:

The company maintains a non-contributory defined benefit plan for its union employees at the Elgin, Illinois facility. Benefits are determined based upon retirement age and years of service with the company. This defined benefit plan was frozen on April 30, 2002, and no further benefits accrue to the participants beyond this date. Plan participants will receive or continue to receive payments for benefits earned on or prior to April 30, 2002 upon reaching retirement age.

The company maintains a non-contributory defined benefit plan for its employees at the Smithville, Tennessee facility, which was acquired as part of the Star acquisition. Benefits are determined based upon retirement age and years of service with the company. This defined benefit plan was frozen on April 1, 2008, and no further benefits accrue to the participants beyond this date. Plan participants will receive or continue to receive payments for benefits earned on or prior to April 1, 2008 upon reaching retirement age.

The company also maintains a retirement benefit agreement with its former Chairman ("Chairman Plan"). The retirement benefits are based upon a percentage of the Chairman’s final base salary with no increase in compensation.

Non-U.S. Plans:

The company maintains a defined benefit plan for its employees at the Wrexham, the United Kingdom facility, which was acquired as part of the Lincat acquisition. Benefits are determined based upon retirement age and years of service with the company. This defined benefit plan was frozen on April 30, 2010 prior to Middleby’s acquisition of the company. No further benefits accrue to the participants beyond this date. Plan participants will receive or continue to receive payments for benefits earned on or prior to April 30, 2010 upon reaching retirement age.

The company maintains several pension plans related to AGA and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "AGA Group"), the most significant being the Aga Rangemaster Group Pension Scheme, which covers the majority of employees in the United Kingdom. Membership in the plan on a defined benefit basis of pension provision was closed to new entrants in 2001. The plan became open to new entrants on a defined contribution basis of pension provision in 2002, but was generally closed to new entrants on this basis during 2014.

The other, much smaller, defined benefit pension plans operating within the AGA Group cover employees in France and the United Kingdom. All pension plan assets are held in separate trust funds although the net defined benefit pension obligations are included in the company's consolidated balance sheet.

A summary of the plans’ net periodic pension cost, benefit obligations, funded status, and net balance sheet position is as follows (dollars in thousands)

On December 31, 2017, the company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost". The service cost component is recognized within Selling, general and administrative expenses and the non-operating components of pension benefit are included within Net periodic pension benefit (other than service cost) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The adoption of this standard resulted in a reclassification for fiscal 2017 and 2016, in which previously reported selling, general and administrative expenses was increased by $31.7 million and $27.2 million, respectively. Net earnings and net earnings per share did not change as a result of the adoption of this standard.

On October 26, 2018, in Lloyds Banking Group Pensions Trustees Limited vs. Lloyds Bank plc and Others, the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom issued a ruling ("Court Ruling") requiring Lloyds Bank plc to equalize benefits payable to men and women under its U.K. defined benefit pension plan. The Court Ruling noted that the formulas used to determine guaranteed minimum pension (GMP) benefits violated gender-pay equality laws due to differences in the way benefits were calculated for men and women. As a result of this ruling, the U.K. pension plan was required to amend its benefit formulas and account for the higher pension payments resulting from GMP equalization. In accordance with ASC 715, this Court Ruling represents a change to for the company's U.K. pension plans resulting in a retroactive increase in benefit levels for plan participants and has been accounted for as a prior service cost deferred in other comprehensive income, to be amortized as a component of net periodic pension benefit in future periods. The U.K. pension plans projected benefit obligation increased $53.6 million as a result of the Court Ruling, subject to potential future adjustments as the calculations by participants are finalized.

The company has engaged non-affiliated third party professional investment advisors to assist the company to develop its investment policy and establish asset allocations. The company's overall investment objective is to provide a return, that along with company contributions, is expected to meet future benefit payments. Investment policy is established in consideration of anticipated future timing of benefit payments under the plans. The anticipated duration of the investment and the potential for investment losses during that period are carefully weighed against the potential for appreciation when making investment decisions. The company routinely monitors the performance of investments made under the plans and reviews investment policy in consideration of changes made to the plans or expected changes in the timing of future benefit payments.

The assets of the plans were invested in the following classes of securities (none of which were securities of the company):

U.S. Plans:



	Target Allocation		Percentage of Plan Assets
			2018		2017
Equity	48	%	42	%	55	%

In accordance with ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the company has measured its defined benefit pension plans at fair value. In accordance with ASU 2015-04, "Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets", the company has elected to measure the pension plan assets and obligations as of the calendar month-end closest to the fiscal year end. The following tables summarize the basis used to measure the pension plans’ assets at fair value as of December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 (in thousands):

The fair value of the Level 1 assets is based on observable, quoted market prices of the identical underlying security in an active market. The fair value of the Level 2 assets is primarily based on market observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields and broker/dealer quotes. Level 3 inputs, as applicable, represent unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions developed by management to measure assets at fair value.

The expected return on assets is developed in consideration of the anticipated duration of investment period for assets held by the plan, the allocation of assets in the plan, and the historical returns for plan assets.

Estimated future benefit payments under the plans are as follows (dollars in thousands):



	U.S. Plans		Non-U.S. Plans
2019	$	1,686	$	59,200
2020	1,704		61,498
2021	1,741		62,360
2022	1,755		64,772
2023 through 2028	11,055		393,112

Expected contributions to the U.S. Plans and Non-U.S. Plans to be made in 2019 are $0.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively.


(b)	Defined Contribution Plans

Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

Commercial Foodservice Equipment Group:

During the fiscal years 2018 and 2017, the company undertook cost reduction initiatives related to the entire Commercial Foodservice Equipment Group. These actions, which are not material to the company's operations, resulted in a charge of $3.5 million and $6.2 million in the twelve months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, primarily for severance related to headcount reductions and consolidation of manufacturing operations. These expenses are reflected in restructuring expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The company estimates that these restructuring initiatives will result in future cost savings of approximately $10.0 million annually. The realization of the savings began in 2017 and continued into fiscal year 2018 and the restructuring costs in the future are not expected to be significant related to these actions.

Food Processing Equipment Group:

During the fiscal years 2018 and 2017, the company undertook cost reduction initiatives related to the entire Food Processing Equipment Group. These actions, which are not material to the company's operations, resulted in a charge of $0.7 million and $0.6 million in the twelve months ended December 29, 2018, and December 30, 2017, respectively, primarily for severance related to headcount reductions and is reflected in restructuring expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The company estimates that these restructuring initiatives will result in future cost savings of approximately $4.0 million annually.

Residential Kitchen Equipment Group:

During the fiscal years 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the company undertook acquisition integration initiatives primarily related to the AGA Group within the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group. These initiatives included organizational restructuring, headcount reductions, consolidation and disposition of certain facilities and business operations, including the impairment of equipment and facilities.

During fiscal year 2018, the company continued initiatives, primarily related the AGA Group, including additional headcount reductions and the impairment of equipment in conjunction of the disposition of certain facilities and business operations. The company recorded expense in the amount of $15.1 million, $13.1 million and $11.0 million, respectively in the years ended December 29, 2018, December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

During 2018, the company undertook additional restructuring efforts for Grange, a non-core business within the Residential Kitchen Group and elected to cease operations. This process was largely completed in the fourth quarter of 2018, and the company does not expect to incur significant additional charges related to this restructuring. In connection with this exit activity, the company has recorded charges of $9.1 million. Of this amount, $2.5 million primarily relates to charges for fixed assets and $3.2 million for working capital accounts, and $3.4 million for severance obligations and other closure costs.

These expenses are reflected in restructuring expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The cumulative expenses incurred to date for these initiatives is approximately $55.7 million. The company estimated that these restructuring initiatives in 2017 would result in future cost savings of approximately $20.0 million annually. The realization of the savings began in 2017 and continued into fiscal year 2018, primarily related to compensation and facility costs. The company anticipates that all severance obligations for the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group will be paid by the end of fiscal of 2019.

The costs and corresponding reserve balances for the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

Contract Estimates

Practical Expedients and Policy Elections

The company has taken advantage of the following practical expedients:


•	The company does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.


•	The company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.


•	As the company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component.

The company has made the following accounting policy elections permitted by ASC 606:


•	The company treats shipping and handling activities performed after the customer obtains control of the good as a contract fulfillment activity.


•	Sales, use and value added taxes assessed by governmental authorities are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price within the company’s contracts with its customers.

Adoption of ASC 606

As a result of the adoption of ASC 606, the company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below.

Equipment

Installation Services

Product Maintenance

These services are generally recognized on a straight-line basis, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit as we perform the services.
