Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Sep. 28, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Middleby Corporation (the "company" or “Middleby”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the company's 2023 Form 10-K. The company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of future full year results for the fiscal year 2024. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, cash flows for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and statement of stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, long-lived and intangible assets, warranty reserves, insurance reserves, income tax reserves, non-cash share-based compensation and post-retirement obligations. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed in the notes herein.
Non-Cash Share-Based Compensation	Non-Cash Share-Based Compensation The company estimates the fair value of market-based stock awards and stock options at the time of grant and recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period of the awards and options. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $8.7 million and $13.2 million for the three months period ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $30.1 million and $35.3 million for the nine months period ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Fair Value Measures	Fair Value Measures Accounting Standards Codification ("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 the company's own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Earnings Per Share, Policy	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.

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, actual 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 is as follows (in thousands):

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Business Combination Disclosure

Acquisitions and Purchase Accounting

The company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method to record a new cost basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill in the financial statements. The company recognizes identifiable intangible assets, primarily trade names and customer relationships, at their fair value using a discounted cash flow model. The significant assumptions used to estimate the value of the intangible assets include revenue growth rates, projected profit margins, discount rates, royalty rates, and customer attrition rates. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. The results of operations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the company from the dates of acquisition.

2023 Acquisitions

During 2023, the company completed various acquisitions that were not individually material. The final allocation of consideration paid for the 2023 acquisitions is summarized as follows (in thousands):


	Preliminary Opening Balance Sheet		Measurement Period Adjustments		Adjusted Opening Balance Sheet
Cash	$	3,102	$	—	$	3,102
Current assets	9,964		11		9,975
Property, plant and equipment	21,954		(214)		21,740
Goodwill	38,422		3,278		41,700
Other intangibles	34,337		(722)		33,615
Other assets	—		5		5
Current liabilities	(3,774)		(1,147)		(4,921)
Long-term deferred tax liability	(958)		23		(935)
Other non-current liabilities	(12,099)		(216)		(12,315)

Consideration paid at closing	$	90,948	$	1,018	$	91,966

Contingent consideration	14,743		216		14,959

Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	105,691	$	1,234	$	106,925

The net long-term deferred tax liability amounted to $0.9 million. The net deferred tax liability is comprised of $0.3 million related to the difference between the book and tax basis of identifiable intangible assets and $0.6 million related to the difference between the book and tax basis on identifiable tangible asset and liability accounts.

The goodwill and $17.9 million of other intangibles associated with the trade names are subject to the non-amortization provisions of ASC 350. Other intangibles also include $7.2 million allocated to customer relationships, $7.9 million allocated to developed technology, and $0.6 million allocated to backlog, which are being amortized over periods of 7 years, 7 to 12 years, and 9 months, respectively. Goodwill of $18.0 million and other intangibles of $7.8 million are allocated to the Food Processing Equipment Group for segment reporting purposes. Goodwill of $9.9 million and other intangibles of $14.1 million are allocated to the Commercial Foodservice Equipment Group for segment reporting purposes. Goodwill of $13.8 million and other intangibles of $11.7 million are allocated to the Residential Kitchen Equipment Group for segment reporting purposes. Of these assets, goodwill of $40.0 million and intangibles of $32.2 million are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Four purchase agreements include earnout provisions providing for a contingent payment due to the sellers for the achievement of certain targets. Four earnouts are payable to the extent certain sales and EBITDA targets are met with measurement dates ending between 2024 and 2026. One earnout is payable upon the achievement of certain product rollout targets specific to the year of measurement. The contractual obligation associated with the contingent earnout provisions recognized on the acquisition date amount to $15.0 million.

2024 Acquisitions

During 2024, the company completed various acquisitions that were not individually material. The following estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date for the 2024 acquisitions and are summarized as follows (in thousands):


	Preliminary Opening Balance Sheet		Preliminary Measurement Period Adjustments		Adjusted Opening Balance Sheet
Cash	$	1	$	—	$	1
Current assets	1,676		222		1,898
Property, plant and equipment	383		(84)		299
Goodwill	945		(114)		831
Other intangibles	568		—		568
Other assets	—		938		938
Current liabilities	(222)		(195)		(417)
Other non-current liabilities	—		(767)		(767)



Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	3,351	$	—	$	3,351

The goodwill and $0.3 million of other intangibles associated with the trade name are subject to the non-amortization provisions of ASC 350. Other intangibles also include $0.3 million allocated to customer relationships, which is being amortized over a period of 5 years. Goodwill of $0.8 million and other intangibles of $0.6 million are allocated to the Food Processing Equipment Group for segment reporting purposes. Of these assets, goodwill of $0.3 million and intangibles of $0.6 million are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The company believes that information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values for the acquisitions completed during 2024. Certain intangible assets are preliminarily valued using historical information from the Food Processing Equipment Group and qualitative assessment of the business at acquisition date. Specifically, the company estimated the fair values of the intangible assets based on the percentage of purchase price assigned to similar intangible assets in previous acquisitions. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair values set forth above are subject to change. The company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The company disaggregates its net sales by reportable operating segment and geographical location as the company believes it best depicts how the nature, timing and uncertainty of its 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 the company's long-term contracts within the Food Processing Equipment group is recognized over time as the equipment is manufactured and assembled. The following table summarizes the company's 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 Condensed 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 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Non-current contract liabilities are recorded in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed 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):


	Sep 28, 2024		Dec 30, 2023
Contract assets	$	60,353	$	47,072
Contract liabilities	$	112,629	$	118,681
Non-current contract liabilities	$	14,485	$	15,721

Intangible Assets, Net (Excluding Goodwill) [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

Foreign Exchange: The company uses foreign currency forward, foreign exchange swaps and option purchase and sales contracts to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company’s primary hedging activities are to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange rates on intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. The company does not currently enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. In managing its foreign currency exposures, the company identifies and aggregates naturally occurring offsetting positions and then hedges residual balance sheet exposures. The notional amount of foreign currency contracts outstanding was $265.7 million and $253.1 million as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the forward and option contracts was a gain of $0.1 million at the end of the third quarter of 2024.

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 swapped one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. In February 2022, the company entered into an additional floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement that uses a daily SOFR in lieu of LIBOR. In April 2023, all outstanding LIBOR swap agreements were amended to one month term SOFR. 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. As of September 28, 2024, the fair value of these instruments was an asset of $25.6 million. The change in fair value of these swap agreements in the first nine months of 2024 was a loss of $12.2 million, net of taxes.

The following table summarizes the company’s fair value of interest rate swaps (in thousands):


	Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Presentation	Sep 28, 2024		Dec 30, 2023
Fair value	Prepaid expense and other	$	2,808	$	2,897
Fair value	Other assets	$	22,821	$	39,882

The impact on earnings from interest rate swaps was as follows (in thousands):


		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	Presentation of Gain/(loss)	Sep 28, 2024		Sep 30, 2023		Sep 28, 2024		Sep 30, 2023
Gain/(loss) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income	Other comprehensive income	$	(10,409)	$	8,706	$	4,159	$	21,141
Gain/(loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (effective portion)	Interest expense	$	6,884	$	8,679	$	21,309	$	23,963

Interest rate swaps are subject to default risk to the extent the counterparties are unable to satisfy their settlement obligations under the interest rate swap agreements. As a result, the company has counterparty credit exposure to large global financial institutions, which the company monitors on a regular basis.

Treasury Stock [Text Block]	Share Repurchases In November 2017, the company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the company to repurchase in the aggregate up to 2,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. In May 2022 and July 2024, the company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional 2,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock under the current program. The company did not purchase shares of its common stock under the program during the three months ended September 28, 2024. As of September 28, 2024, 3,116,364 shares had been purchased under the stock repurchase program and 4,383,636 shares remained authorized for repurchase. The company also treats shares withheld for tax purposes on behalf of employees in connection with the vesting of restricted share grants as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, the company repurchased 1,871 and 118,026 shares of its common stock that were surrendered to the company for withholding taxes related to restricted stock vestings for $0.3 million and $18.3 million.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

a)Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Middleby Corporation (the "company" or “Middleby”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the company's 2023 Form 10-K. The company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of future full year results for the fiscal year 2024.

In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, cash flows for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and statement of stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, long-lived and intangible assets, warranty reserves, insurance reserves, income tax reserves, non-cash share-based compensation and post-retirement obligations. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed in the notes herein.

b)Non-Cash Share-Based Compensation

The company estimates the fair value of market-based stock awards and stock options at the time of grant and recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period of the awards and options. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $8.7 million and $13.2 million for the three months period ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $30.1 million and $35.3 million for the nine months period ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

c)Income Taxes

A tax provision of $40.5 million, at an effective rate of 26.2%, was recorded during the three months period ended September 28, 2024, as compared to a $35.7 million tax provision at an effective rate of 24.8% in the prior year period. A tax provision of $108.2 million, at an effective rate of 25.5%, was recorded during the nine months period ended September 28, 2024 as compared to a $107.9 million tax provision at an effective rate of 24.9% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the three months period ended September 28, 2024 is higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes and foreign tax rate differentials.

d)Fair Value Measures

Accounting Standards Codification ("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 the company's own assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

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


	Fair Value Level 1		Fair Value Level 2		Fair Value Level 3		Total
As of September 28, 2024
Financial Assets:
Interest rate swaps	$	—	$	25,629	$	—	$	25,629
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	$	—	$	55	$	—	$	55

Financial Liabilities:

Contingent consideration	$	—	$	—	$	44,311	$	44,311


As of December 30, 2023
Financial Assets:
Interest rate swaps	$	—	$	42,779	$	—	$	42,779
Foreign exchange derivative contracts	$	—	$	29	$	—	$	29

Financial Liabilities:

Contingent consideration	$	—	$	—	$	51,538	$	51,538

The contingent consideration as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, relates to the earnout provisions recorded in conjunction with various purchase agreements.

Earn-out liabilities are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as the methodology used to estimate fair value includes significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions. The earnout provisions associated with these acquisitions are based upon performance measurements related to sales and earnings, as defined in the respective purchase agreement. 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. Discount rates for valuing contingent consideration are determined based on the company rates and specific acquisition risk considerations. Changes in fair value associated with the earnout provisions are recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The following table represents changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities:


	September 28, 2024
Beginning balance	$	51,538
Payments of contingent consideration	(4,141)

Changes in fair value	(3,086)
Ending balance	$	44,311

For the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the average market price of the company's common stock exceeded the exercise price of the Convertible Notes (as defined below) resulting in 427,000 and 614,000 diluted common stock equivalents to be included in the diluted net earnings per share, respectively. There have been no material conversions to date. See Note 12, Financing Arrangements for further details on the Convertible Notes. There were no anti-dilutive restricted stock grants excluded from common stock equivalents in any period presented.

Litigation Matters	9 Months Ended
Litigation Matters	Sep. 28, 2024
Notes To Financial Statements [Abstract]
Litigation Matters	Litigation Matters Legal Proceedings and Contingencies. 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 pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The entire disclosure for loss and gain contingencies. Describes any existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as of the balance sheet date (or prior to issuance of the financial statements) as to a probable or reasonably possible loss incurred by an entity that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur, and typically discloses the amount of loss recorded or a range of possible loss, or an assertion that no reasonable estimate can be made.
