Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s balance sheet as of March 30, 2024, and its results of operations, including its comprehensive income and stockholders’ equity for the three month periods ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but may not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 30, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification
Certain items have been reclassified in the prior year financial statements to conform to the presentation and classifications used in the current year. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
Prior Period Financial Statement Correction of Immaterial Error
Subsequent to the issuance of the fiscal year 2022 Form 10-K consolidated financial statements, an immaterial error was identified relating to certain contracts that were recognized as revenue based on two performance obligations, but it was subsequently determined that the performance obligations were not distinct within the context of the contract with the customer. The correction of this immaterial error led to a presentation change on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income and in Footnote 11 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three month period ended April 1, 2023, as illustrated in the table below. The Company has corrected this immaterial error and prior year revenues are derived from previously issued financial statements. Accordingly, we have revised previously reported financial information for such immaterial error, as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 and our Quarterly Reports for the three month periods ended July 1, 2023 and September 20, 2023, on Form 10-Q under the heading “Prior Period Financial Statement Correction of Immaterial Error.”A summary of revisions to certain previously reported financial information presented herein for comparative purposes. These presentation changes had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
The effect of correcting the immaterial error in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for the three month period ended April 1, 2023 is shown in the following table:

Use of Estimates in the Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, income taxes and the effective tax rates, inventory basis adjustments, the fair value of assets and liabilities related to acquisitions, the derivative warrant liability, the recognition and valuation of unit-based compensation arrangements, the useful lives of property and equipment, the commencement date of leases, the incremental borrowing rate used to calculate lease liabilities, estimated progress toward completion for certain revenue contracts, allowance for credit losses, fair values and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, and assumptions used in the accounting for business combinations.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company uses valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. A three-tiered hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. This hierarchy requires that the Company use observable market data, when available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value:
Level 1, observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2, inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly;
Level 3, unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires that the Company develop its own assumptions.
The fair value of cash, accounts receivable less allowance for credit losses, and accounts payable approximate the carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt approximates its carrying amount as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023 due to its variable interest rate that is tied to the current Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate plus an applicable margin. To estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt, which consists of the First Lien Term Loan and the Revolving Credit
Facility, the Company utilized fair value based risk measurements that are indirectly observable, such as credit risk that fall within Level 2 of the Fair Value hierarchy (see Notes 7 and 8 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the Company’s debt).
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies have not changed materially from those described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable primarily arise from the sale of products and services to established customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Additionally, accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value, net of allowance for credit losses which is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts.
The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses using the loss-rate method. As the Company determined that its customers at various business units and sales channels share similar risk characteristics, the same loss rate is applied to all accounts receivable. The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses by considering various factors such as historical write-offs, changes in customers’ credit ratings, delinquency, payment history, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current and expected economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is determined that internal collection efforts should no longer be pursued.
The activity for the allowance for credit losses during the three month period ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, is as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 4.6 
Write-offs — 
Provision for expected credit losses, net
0.1 
Balance at April 1, 2023 $ 4.7 
Balance at December 30, 2023 $ 3.6 
Write-offs — 
Provision for expected credit losses, net
0.5 
Balance at March 30, 2024 $ 4.1 
Product Warranties
The Company records a liability for product warranties at the time of the related sale of goods. The liability is estimated using historical warranty experience, projected claim rates and expected costs per claim. The Company adjusts its liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and the exposure can be estimated. Product failure rates as well as material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure affect the Company's warranty liabilities. If actual costs differ from estimated costs, the Company must make a revision to the warranty liability. Generally, the Company offers warranties ranging between one and three years for our products with the exception of warranties for roofing at one of our business units, where we offer warranties of up to 10 years.

The activity related to product warranty liabilities recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities during the three month period ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, is as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2022
$ 0.9 
Aggregate changes in the product warranty liability 0.3
Balance at April 1, 2023
$ 1.2 

Balance at December 30, 2023
$ 2.3 
Aggregate changes in the product warranty liability 0.1 
Balance at March 30, 2024
$ 2.4 
Treasury Stock
We account for treasury stock under the cost method pursuant to the provisions of ASC 505-30, Treasury Stock. Under the cost method, the gross cost of the shares reacquired is charged to a contra equity account, treasury stock. The equity accounts that were originally credited for the original share issuance, common stock and additional paid-in capital, remain intact.
If the treasury shares are ever reissued in the future at a price higher than its cost, the difference will be recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price lower than its cost, the difference will be recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital to the extent that there are previously recorded gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in additional paid-in-capital, the losses upon re-issuance of treasury stock are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If treasury stock is reissued in the future, a cost flow assumption will be adopted to compute excesses and deficiencies upon subsequent share re-issuance.
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed the insured limits of the local country. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company sells its products and services mainly in the United States and European regions. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. The Company generally does not require its customers to provide collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. As of March 30, 2024, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance or more than 10% of revenues.
Segments
The Company manages its operations through two operating and reportable segments: Janus North America and Janus International. These segments align the Company’s products and service offerings based on the geographic location between North America and International locations, which is consistent with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews and evaluates the Company’s operations. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the financial performance of each operating segment. The Company’s segments are strategic businesses that are managed separately because each one develops, manufactures and markets distinct products and services. Refer to Note 15, Segments Information, for further detail.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”), which amends ASC 805, Business Combinations (Topic 805), to add contract assets and contract liabilities to the list of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and to require that an acquiring entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). Janus will be applying the pronouncement prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the adoption date.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and subsequent amendment to the initial guidance, ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (collectively, “Topic 848”). Topic 848 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. ASU 2022-06 defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. Effective April 2, 2023, the Company transitioned its credit agreements from LIBOR to the SOFR. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on April 2, 2023, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On August 23, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, under which an entity that qualifies as either a joint venture or a corporate joint venture as defined in the FASB ASC master glossary is required to apply a new basis of accounting upon the formation of the joint venture. Specifically, the ASU provides that a joint venture or a corporate joint venture (collectively, “joint ventures”) must initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on the formation date. The Company does not believe this will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and believe the adoption of this standard could add material additional segment disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in a public entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and other disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which have been adopted or will be adopted as applicable, management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
