Investors should also watch seasonality, because grill sales are typically stronger in the first half of the year while accessories are heavier in the fourth quarter, and should monitor goodwill and intangible asset impairment testing given the company’s acquired assets. - **Revenue recognition and variable consideration** — Net revenue - **Seasonality** — Quarterly revenue and margin patterns - **Goodwill impairment** — Potential non-cash impairment charges - **Acquired intangible asset amortization** — Operating income and net income - Revenue is reduced for estimated returns and rebate programs - Retail and DTC timing affects when revenue is recognized - Seasonality makes quarterly comparisons uneven across the year - Goodwill and acquired intangibles require impairment testing - Amortization of acquired intangibles affects reported earnings --- *Last updated: 2026-04-29T05:04:07.417041+00:00*
