Business Overview
Janus is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of turn-key self-storage, commercial and industrial building solutions including: roll up and swing doors, hallway systems, relocatable storage units, and facility and door automation technologies with manufacturing operations in Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Indiana, North Carolina, United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore. The Company focuses on two primary markets, providing building solutions to the self-storage industry and the broader commercial industrial market. The self-storage industry is comprised of institutional and non-institutional facilities. Institutional facilities typically include multi-story, climate-controlled facilities located in prime locations owned and/or managed by large REITs or returns-driven operators of scale and are primarily located in the top 50 MSAs, whereas the vast majority of non-institutional facilities are single-story, non-climate controlled facilities located outside of city centers owned and/or managed by smaller private operators that are mostly located outside of the top 50 U.S. MSAs. Janus is highly integrated with customers at every phase of a project, including facility planning/design, construction, access control and restore, rebuild, replace of damaged or end-of-life products.
Our business is operated through two geographic regions that comprise our two reportable segments: Janus North America and Janus International. The Janus International segment is comprised of Janus International Europe Holdings Ltd. (UK), whose production and sales are largely in Europe and Australia. The Janus North America segment is comprised of all the other entities including Janus Core, BETCO, NOKE, ASTA, DBCI, ACT, Janus Door, and Steel Door Depot.com.
Furthermore, our business is comprised of three primary sales channels: New Construction-Self-storage, R3-Self-storage (R3), and Commercial and Other. The Commercial and Other category is primarily comprised of roll-up sheet and rolling steel door sales into the commercial marketplace.
New construction consists of engineering and project management work pertaining to the design, building, and logistics of a greenfield new self-storage facility tailored to customer specifications while being compliant with ADA regulations. Any Nokē Smart Entry System revenue associated with a new construction project also rolls up into this sales channel.
The concept of Janus R3 is to replace storage unit doors, optimizing unit mix and idle land, and adding a more robust security solution to enable customers to (1) charge higher rental rates and (2) compete with modern self-storage facilities and large operators. In addition, the R3 sales channel also includes new self-storage capacity being brought online through conversions and expansions. R3 transforms facilities through door replacement, facility upgrades, Nokē Smart Entry Systems, and relocatable storage MASS.
Commercial light duty steel roll-up doors are designed for applications that require less frequent and less demanding operations. Janus offers heavy duty commercial grade steel doors (minimized dead-load, or constant weight of the curtain itself) perfect for warehouses, commercial buildings, and terminals, designed with a higher gauge and deeper guides, which combats the heavy scale of use with superior strength and durability. Janus also offers rolling steel doors known for minimal maintenance and easy installation with, but not limited to, the
23
following options, commercial slat doors, heavy duty service doors, fire doors, fire rated counter shutters, insulated service doors, counter shutters and grilles.
Executive Overview
Janus’s financials reflect the result of the execution of our operational and corporate strategy to penetrate the fast-growing commercial storage market, expanding its self-storage market share, as well as capitalizing on the aging self-storage facilities, while continuing to diversify our products and solutions. Janus is a bespoke provider of not only products, but solutions that generate a favorable financial outcome for our clients.
During the last two years, we have acquired G&M, DBCI, and ACT to expand geographically. Our M&A activity has collectively enhanced our growth trajectory, technology and global footprint, while providing us access to highly attractive adjacent categories.
Total revenue was $1.02 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 35.9% from $750.2 million for the year ended January 1, 2022.
Revenues and net income increased in 2022 as compared to 2021 largely due to continued strong performance within all three sales channels and $56.6 million of inorganic growth as a result of the DBCI and ACT acquisitions coupled with the impact from the commercial actions taken in 2021. The same trends were generally present in both the Janus North America segment as well as the Janus International segment, with the exception of the fact that the international segment does not sell into the Commercial sales channel.
Adjusted EBITDA was $226.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a 53.1% increase from $148.2 million for the year ended January 1, 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 22.3% for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 2.5% from 19.8% for the year ended January 1, 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margins is a direct result of increased revenue primarily due to commercial actions taking full effect in third quarter of 2022 which was partially offset by the inflationary increases in raw material, labor and logistics costs impacting the business in advance of commercial actions taking full effect. In addition to the inflationary cost pressures, Janus also experienced incremental costs as a public company and costs associated with the robust pace of activity for the balance of the year and investing in customer service.
Information regarding use of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, is included in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Business Segment Information
Our business is operated through two geographic regions that comprise our two reportable segments: Janus North America and Janus International.
Janus North America is comprised of eight operating segments including Janus Core, Janus Door, Steel Door Depot, ASTA, NOKE, BETCO, DBCI, and ACT. Janus North America produces and provides various fabricated components such as commercial and self-storage doors, walls, hallway systems and building components used primarily by owners or builders of self-storage facilities and also offers installation services along with the products. Janus North America represented 92.6% and 90.9% of Janus’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively.
Janus International is comprised solely of one operating segment, Janus International Europe Holdings Ltd (UK). The Janus International segment produces and provides similar products and services as Janus North America but largely in Europe as well as Australia. Janus International represented 7.4% and 9.1% of Janus’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively.
Acquisitions
Our highly accretive M&A strategy focuses on (i) portfolio diversification into attractive and logical adjacencies, (ii) geographic expansion, and (iii) technological innovation.
Inorganic growth, through acquisitions, serves to increase Janus’s strategic growth. Since 2021, Janus has completed three acquisitions which contributed a combined $93.2 million inorganic revenue increase from December 27, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors within this Form 10-K section for further information on the risks associated with integration of these acquisitions. Janus acquired the following three companies to fuel the inorganic growth of its manufacturing capabilities, product offerings, and technology solutions provided to customers.
On January 18, 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Steel Storage Australia Pty Ltd. acquired 100% of the net assets of G & M Stor-More Pty Ltd. for approximately $1.74 million. G & M Stor-More Pty Ltd. has over 23 years’ experience in self-storage building, design, construction and consultation. As a result of the acquisition, the Company will have an opportunity to increase its customer base of the self-storage industry and expand its product offerings in the Australian market.
On August 18, 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Janus Core acquired 100% of the equity interests of DBCI, a company incorporated in Delaware, for approximately $169.2 million. DBCI is a manufacturer of exterior building products in North
24
America, with over 25 years’ servicing commercial, residential and repair markets. As a result of the acquisition, the Company will have an opportunity to increase its customer base of both the commercial and self-storage industries and expand its product offerings in the North American market.
On August 31, 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Janus Core acquired 100% of the equity of ACT, a company incorporated in North Carolina, for approximately $10.4 million. Through this acquisition, the Company also acquired all assets and certain liabilities of Phoenix, a company incorporated in North Carolina. ACT has specialized in protecting critical assets in the self-storage and industrial building industries for over 7 years. The ACT team is comprised of security industry experts who continually train to be at the forefront of emerging industry trends, technological advancements, and new security vulnerabilities or hazards that threaten their clients. As a result of the acquisition, the Company will have an opportunity to expand its Nokē Smart Entry ground game.
Key Performance Measures
Management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on the revenue of services and products, gross profit, operating margins, and cash from business operations. We use Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial metric, as a supplemental measure of our performance in order to provide investors with an improved understanding of underlying performance trends. Please see the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below for further discussion of this financial measure, including the reasons why we use such financial measures and reconciliations of such financial measures to the nearest GAAP financial measures.
Human capital is also one of the main cost drivers of the manufacturing, selling, and administrative processes of Janus. As a result, headcount is reflective of the health of Janus indicative of an expansion or contraction of the overall business. We expect to continue to increase headcount in the future as we grow our business. Moreover, we expect that we will continue to hire additional accounting, finance, and other personnel in connection with our becoming, and our efforts to comply with the requirement of being a public company.
The following table sets forth key performance measures for the years ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022
(dollar amounts in thousands)
Year Ended Variance
Adjusted EBITDA (% of revenue) 22.3 % 19.8 % 2.5 %
As of December 31, 2022, and January 1, 2022, the headcount was 2,247 (including 551 temporary employees) and 2,017 (including 440 temporary employees), respectively.
Total revenue increased by $269.4 million or 35.9% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022, primarily due to improved market conditions, commercial actions instituted in 2021 and increased volumes partially related to pull through of the 2021 new construction pent up demand coupled with a $56.6 million increase in inorganic revenue growth as a result of the DBCI and ACT acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $78.7 million or 53.1% from the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022 primarily due to increased revenue which was partially offset by increased cost of sales and general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue increased 2.5% for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to increased revenue due to commercial actions taking full effect in third quarter 2022 which was partially offset by inflationary increases in raw material, labor and logistics costs in advance of commercial and cost containment actions taking full effect. In addition to the inflationary cost pressures, Janus also experienced incremental costs as a public company and incremental costs associated with the robust pace of activity for the balance of the year and investing in customer service. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section).
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been derived from the accounts of Janus and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Janus’s fiscal year follows a 4-4-5 calendar which divides a year into four quarters of 13 weeks, grouped into two 4-week “months” and one 5-week “month.” As a result, some monthly comparisons are not comparable as one month is longer than the other two. The major advantage of a 4-4-5 calendar is that the end date of the period is always the same day of the week, making manufacturing planning easier as every period is the same length. Every fifth or sixth year will require a 53rd week and the year ended January 1, 2022 was a year in which we added a 53rd week.
We have presented results of operations, including the related discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022.

Components of Results of Operations
Sales of products. Sale of products represents the revenue from the sale of products, including steel roll-up and swing doors, rolling steel doors, steel structures, as well as hallway systems and facility and door automation technologies for commercial and self-storage customers. Product revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which generally takes place at the point of destination (Janus Core) and at the point of shipping (all other subsidiaries). We expect our product revenue may vary from period to period on, among other things, the timing and size of orders and delivery of products and the impact of significant transactions. Revenues are monitored and analyzed as a function of sales reporting within the following sales channels, Self-Storage New Construction, Self-Storage R3, and Commercial and Other.
Sales of services. Service revenue reflects installation services to customers for steel facilities, steel roll-up and swing doors, hallway systems, and relocatable storage units which is recognized over time based on the satisfaction of our performance obligation. Janus is highly integrated with customers at every phase of a project, including facility planning/design, construction, access control and R3 of damaged, or end-of-life products or rebranding of facilities due to market consolidation. Service obligations are primarily short term and completed within a one-year time period. We expect our service revenue to increase as we add new customers and our existing customers continue to add more and more content per square foot.
Cost of sales. Our cost of sales consists of the cost of products and cost of services. Cost of products includes the manufacturing cost of our steel roll-up and swing doors, rolling steel doors, steel structures, and hallway systems which primarily consists of amounts paid to our third-party contract suppliers and personnel-related costs directly associated with manufacturing operations as well as overhead and indirect costs. Cost of services includes third-party installation subcontractor costs directly associated with the installation of our products. Our cost of sales include purchase price variance, cost of spare or replacement parts, warranty costs, excess and obsolete inventory charges, shipping costs, and an allocated portion of overhead costs, including depreciation. We expect cost of sales to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we expect our revenues to continue to grow.
Selling and marketing expense. Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits of employees engaged in selling activities as well as related travel, advertising, trade shows/conventions, meals and entertainment expenses. We expect selling expenses to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we expect our revenues to continue to grow.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses are comprised primarily of expenses relating to employee compensation and benefits, travel, meals and entertainment expenses as well as depreciation, amortization, and public company costs. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we expect our revenues to continue to grow. We also expect G&A expenses to increase in the near term as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses associated with compliance with the rules and regulations of the Commission, and an increase in legal, audit, insurance, investor relations, professional services and other administrative expenses.
Interest expense. Consists of interest expense on short-term and long-term debt and amortization of deferred financing fees (see “Long Term Debt” section).
Factors Affecting the Results of Operations
Key Factors Affecting the Business and Financial Statements
Management understands Janus’s performance and future growth depends on a number of factors that present significant opportunities but also pose risks and challenges.
Factors Affecting Revenues
Janus’s revenues from products sold are driven by economic conditions, which impacts new construction of self-storage facilities, R3 of self-storage facilities, and commercial revenue.
Janus periodically modifies sales prices of their products due to changes in costs for raw materials and energy, market conditions, labor and logistics costs and the competitive environment. In certain cases, realized price increases are less than the announced price increases because of project pricing, competitive reactions and changing market conditions. Janus also offers a wide assortment of products that are differentiated by style, design and performance attributes. Pricing and margins for products within the assortment vary. In addition, changes in the relative quantity of products purchased at different price points can impact year-to-year comparisons of net sales and operating income.
Service revenue is driven by the product revenue and the increase in value-added services, such as pre-work planning, site drawings, installation and general contracting, project management, and third-party security. Janus differentiates itself through on-time delivery, efficient installation, best in-class service, and a reputation for high quality products.
Factors Affecting Growth Through Acquisitions
Janus’s business strategy involves growth through, among other things, the acquisition of other companies. Janus evaluates companies that it believes will strategically fit into its business and growth objectives. If Janus is unable to successfully integrate and develop acquired businesses, it could fail to achieve anticipated synergies and cost savings, including any expected increases in revenues and operating results, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial results.
Janus may not be able to identify suitable acquisition or strategic investment opportunities or may be unable to obtain the required consent of its lenders and, therefore, may not be able to complete such acquisitions or strategic investments. Janus may incur expenses
26
associated with sourcing, evaluating and negotiating acquisitions (including those that do not get completed), and it may also pay fees and expenses associated with financing acquisitions to investment banks and other advisors. Any of these amounts may be substantial, and together with the size, timing and number of acquisitions Janus pursues, may negatively affect and cause significant volatility in its financial results.
In addition, Janus has assumed, and may in the future assume, liabilities of the company it is acquiring. While Janus retains third-party advisors to consult on potential liabilities related to these acquisitions, there can be no assurances that all potential liabilities will be identified or known to it. If there are unknown liabilities or other obligations, Janus’s business could be materially affected.
Seasonality
Generally, Janus’s sales tend to be the slowest in January due to more unfavorable weather conditions, customer business cycles and the timing of renovation and new construction project launches.
Factors Affecting Operating Costs
Janus’s operating expenses are comprised of direct production costs (principally raw materials, labor and energy), manufacturing overhead costs, freight, costs to purchase sourced products and selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.
Janus’s largest individual raw material expenditure is steel coils. Fluctuations in the prices of steel coil are generally beyond Janus’s control and have a direct impact on the financial results. In 2020 and 2021, Janus entered into agreements with three of its largest suppliers in order to lock in steel coil prices for part of Janus’s production needs and partially mitigate the potential impacts of short-term steel coil price fluctuations. This arrangement allows Janus to purchase quantities of product within specified ranges as outlined in the contracts. Freight costs are driven by Janus’s volume of sales of products and are subject to the freight market pricing environment.

The $269.4 million revenue increase for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022 is primarily attributable to increased volumes as a result of favorable industry dynamics in all three sales channels, positive impact from commercial actions taken in 2022, coupled with inorganic growth of $56.6 million as a result of the DBCI and ACT acquisitions. In addition, we began to see a more meaningful impact from our commercial actions in the second half of the year. The inorganic growth as a result of the G&M Stor-More Pty Ltd. acquisition is not separately stated above as the amount is not significant.
The following table and discussion compares Janus’s sales by sales channel (dollar amounts in thousands).

New construction sales increased by $37.4 million or 13.1% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2022 is primarily due to commercial initiatives and strong growth related to the 2021 pent up demand in greenfield projects caused by permitting delays associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic.
28
R3 sales increased by $99.7 million or 45.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022 due to the increase of conversions and expansions as more self-storage capacity continues to be brought online through R3 as opposed to greenfield sites coupled with the positive impacts from commercial actions.
Commercial and other sales increased by $132.3 million or 54.5% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022 due to Janus Core and ASTA experiencing favorable market gains due to the continued e-commerce movement coupled with share gains in the commercial steel roll up door market from ASTA’s launch of the rolling steel product line. In addition, the commercial and other sales channel continued to benefit from the commercial actions instituted in 2021.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
(dollar amounts in thousands)
Gross margin increased by 2.3% to 35.8% for the year ended December 31, 2022 from 33.5% for the year ended January 1, 2022 primarily due to continued increased raw material, labor and logistics costs which was offset by the commercial and cost containment initiatives taking effect in the second half of 2022.
Year Ended Cost of Sales Variance Breakdown
The $155.8 million or 31.2% increase in cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022, is primarily attributable to an increase in material and direct labor costs of $94.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022, coupled with the inorganic growth of $43.7 million as a result of the DBCI and ACT acquisitions for the year ended January 1, 2022.
Operating Expenses - Selling and marketing
Selling and marketing expense increased $12.0 million or 25.9% for the year ended January 1, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to increased marketing, trade show and payroll related costs for additional headcount to support revenue growth coupled with limited travel, marketing and trade show costs in the prior year due to the pandemic. In addition, there was an increase in selling and marketing expenses of $2.3 million as a result of the DBCI and ACT acquisitions.
Operating Expenses - General and administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $7.2 million or 6.4% for the year ended January 1, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase in general liability and health insurance, professional fees and payroll related costs for additional headcount to support the continued top line revenue growth coupled with the transition to a public company which was partially offset by transaction related costs incurred in conjunction with the June 2021 Business Combination of approximately $10.4 million which is not present in 2022, which is further discussed in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section. In addition, there was an increase in general and administrative expenses of $6.2 million as a result of the DBCI and ACT acquisitions for the year ended January 1, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.
Operating Expenses - Contingent consideration and earnout fair value adjustments
Contingent consideration and earnout fair value adjustments decreased by $0.7 million or 100.0% for the year ended January 1, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, and were related to the change in fair value of the earnout of the 2,000,000 common stock shares that were issued and released on June 21, 2021.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $9.2 million or 27.9% for the year ended January 1, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to the new borrowings of $155.0 million in August 2021 and an increase in interest rates in 2022. (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section).
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense decreased by $3.1 million or 93.2% from $3.3 million of other expense for the year ended January 1, 2022 to $0.2 million of other expense for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in other expense for the year ended is primarily due to a $2.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt and a $0.8 million loss on abandonment included in the year ended January 1, 2022, but not present in the year ended December 31, 2022.
29
Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities
Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities decreased by $5.9 million or 100.0% from $5.9 million for the year ended January 1, 2022 to $— million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2022 is due to a $5.9 million fair value of warrant liabilities adjustment included in the year ended January 1, 2022, but not present in the year ended December 31, 2022. All warrants were redeemed in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense increased by $31.1 million or 479.5% from $6.5 million for the year ended January 1, 2022 to $37.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to a tax structure change from a limited liability company that was considered a disregarded entity for tax purposes to a Corporation as a result of the Business Combination that occurred on June 7, 2021.
Net Income
The $63.9 million or 145.8% increase in net income for the year ended January 1, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 is largely due to an increase in revenue offset by an increase in cost of sales, selling and general and administrative expenses, interest expense and income taxes.
Segment Results of Operations
We operate in and report financial results for two segments: North America and International with the following sales channels, Self-Storage New Construction, Self-Storage R3, and Commercial and Other.
Segment operating income is the measure of profit and loss that our chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for resource allocation, performance reviews and compensation. For these reasons segment operating income represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss. Our chief operating decision maker may exclude certain charges or gains, such as corporate charges and other special charges, to arrive at a segment operating income that is a more meaningful measure of profit and loss upon which to base our operating decisions. We define segment operating margin as segment operating income as a percentage of the segment’s Net revenues.
The segment discussion that follows describes the significant factors contributing to the changes in results for each segment included in net earnings.

Commercial and Other sales increased by $142.8 million or 55.3% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022 due to increases in both Janus Core and ASTA commercial steel roll up door market, from strong momentum with the launch of the ASTA rolling steel product line and commercial initiatives implemented to offset the inflationary increases of raw materials, labor, and logistics costs.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
(dollar amounts in thousands)
Gross Margin increased by 2.1% to 34.7% for the year ended December 31, 2022 from 32.6% for the year ended January 1, 2022 primarily due to continued increased raw material, labor and logistics costs which was offset by the commercial and cost containment initiatives taking effect in the second half of 2022.
Year Ended Variance Variance% Cost of Sales Variance Breakdown
The $167.3 million or 34.7% increase in cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended January 1, 2022 is primarily due to increased revenue coupled with an increase in raw material, labor, and logistics costs. In addition, there was an inorganic increase of $43.7 million as a result of the DBCI and ACT acquisitions.
Operating Expenses - Selling and marketing
Selling and marketing expenses increased $12.5 million or 29.3% from $42.6 million for the year ended January 1, 2022 to $55.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to increased marketing and trade show and payroll related costs for additional headcount to support revenue growth coupled with lower spend on travel, marketing and trade shows in the prior year due to the pandemic. In addition, there was an increase in selling and marketing expenses of $2.3 million as a result of the DBCI and ACT acquisitions.

General and administrative expenses increased $13.1 million or 14.0% from $94.0 million for the year ended January 1, 2022 to $107.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase in general liability and health insurance, professional fees and payroll related costs for additional headcount to support the continued top line revenue growth coupled with the transition to a public company which was partially offset by transaction related costs incurred in conjunction with the June 2021 Business Combination of approximately $10.4 million which is not present in 2022, which is further discussed in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section. In addition, there was an increase in general and administrative expenses of $6.2 million as a result of the DBCI and ACT acquisitions for the from the year ended January 1, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.
Operating Expenses - Contingent consideration and earnout fair value adjustments

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(dollar amounts in thousands)
Janus uses measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Non-GAAP financial performance measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a GAAP basis.
33
Janus presents Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-GAAP financial performance measure, which excludes from reported GAAP results, the impact of certain items consisting of acquisition events and other non-recurring charges. Such expenses, charges, and gains are not indicative of Janus’s normal, ongoing operations, and their inclusion in results makes for more difficult comparisons between years and with peer group companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by Janus to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Janus’s operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors. In addition, they provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of Janus’s business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash items and certain variable charges. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization, and other non-operational, non-recurring items.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the nearest GAAP equivalent of Adjusted EBITDA. These limitations include that the non-GAAP financial measures:
•exclude depreciation and amortization, and although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may be replaced in the future;
•do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on debt, which reduces cash available;
•do not reflect the provision for or benefit from income tax that may result in payments that reduce cash available;
•exclude non-recurring items which are unlikely to occur again and have not occurred before (e.g., the extinguishment of debt); and
•may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, because the expenses and other items that Janus excludes in the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures when they report their operating results.
Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our current cash on hand, days sales outstanding, inventory turns, days payable outstanding, capital expenditure forecasts, interest and principal payments on debt and income tax payments.
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash balances on hand, cash flows from operations, proceeds from equity, debt offerings and borrowing availability under our existing credit facility. Based on the information available as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our operating cash flow, along with funds available under the line of credit, provide sufficient liquidity to support Janus’s liquidity and financing needs, which are working capital requirements, capital expenditures, service of indebtedness, as well as to finance acquisitions.
Financial Policy
Our financial policy seeks to: (i) selectively invest in organic and inorganic growth to enhance our portfolio, including certain strategic capital investments and (ii) maintain appropriate leverage by using free cash flows to repay outstanding borrowings.
Liquidity Policy
We maintain a strong focus on liquidity and define our liquidity risk tolerance based on sources and uses to maintain a sufficient liquidity position to meet our obligations under both normal and stressed conditions. At Janus, we manage our liquidity to provide access to sufficient funding to meet our business needs and financial obligations, as well as capital allocation and growth objectives, throughout business cycles.
Cash Management
Janus manages its operating cash management activities through banking relationships for the domestic entities and international entities. Domestic subsidiaries monitor cash balances on a monthly basis and excess cash is transferred to Janus to pay down intercompany debt, interest on the intercompany debt and intercompany sales of products and materials and other services. International subsidiaries monitor excess cash balances on a periodic basis and transfer excess cash flow to Janus in the form of a dividend. Janus compiles a monthly standalone business unit and consolidated 13-week cash flow forecast to monitor various cash activities and forecast cash balances to fund operational activities.
Holding Company Status
Janus International Group, Inc. was formed to consummate the business combination and as such owns no material assets and does not conduct any business operations of its own. As a result, Janus International Group, Inc. is largely dependent upon cash dividends and distributions and other transfers from its subsidiaries, such as Janus Core, to meet obligations. The agreements governing the indebtedness of our subsidiaries impose restrictions on our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.
Foreign Exchange
We have operations in various foreign countries, principally the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and Singapore. Therefore, changes in the value of the related currencies affect our financial statements when translated into U.S. dollars.
LIBOR Reform
In connection with the potential transition away from the use of the LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark, we are currently in the process of identifying and managing the potential impact to Janus. The majority of Janus’s exposure to LIBOR relates to the Amendment No. 4 1st Lien note payable which is discussed further below.

As of December 31, 2022, and January 1, 2022, the Company maintained one letter of credit totaling approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, on which there were no balances due.
On August 18, 2021, the Company completed a refinancing of its First Lien Amendment No. 3, in which the principal terms of the amendment were a reduction in the overall interest rate based upon the loan type chosen, new borrowings of $155.0 million and a consolidation of the prior outstanding tranches into a single tranche of debt with the syndicate. The Amendment No.4 First Lien is comprised of a syndicate of lenders originating on August 18, 2021 in the amount of $726.4 million with interest payable in arrears. As chosen by the Company, the amended loan bears interest at a floating rate per annum consisting of LIBOR, plus an applicable margin percent (effective interest rate of 7.98% as of December 31, 2022). The debt is secured by substantially all business assets.
On August 18, 2021, the Company increased the available line of credit from $50.0 million to $80.0 million, incurred additional fees for this amendment of $0.4 million and extended the maturity date from February 18, 2023 to August 12, 2024. There was $— million and $6.4 million outstanding balance on the line of credit as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 the interest rate in effect for the facility was 7.8% and 3.5%, respectively. The line of credit is secured by accounts receivable and inventories.
The revolving line of credit facility and Amendment No. 4 1st Lien note payable contain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on, subject to certain exceptions, the incurrence of indebtedness, the incurrence of liens, fundamental changes, dispositions, restricted payments, investments, transactions with affiliates as well as other covenants customary for financings of these types.
The line of credit facility also includes a financial covenant, applicable only when the excess availability is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of the aggregate commitments under the line of credit facility and the borrowing base, and (ii) $5.0 million. In such circumstances, we would be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for the trailing four quarters equal to at least 1.0 to 1.0; subject to our ability to make an equity cure (no more than twice in any four quarter period and up to five times over the life of the facility). As of December 31, 2022, we were compliant with our covenants under the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness.

Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $13.6 million to $88.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $74.8 million for the year ended January 1, 2022. This was primarily due to an increase of $67.3 million to net income adjusted for non-cash items and an investment in net working capital of $53.6 million to continue to support revenue growth, which was driven by a $2.5 million increase in prepaid and other current assets, $11.2 million increase in inventory to ensure supply to our plants in the current raw material constrained environment coupled with raw material inflation, $30.6 million increase in accounts receivable and deferred revenue as a result of increased sales volume and commercial initiatives, $19.2 million increase in accounts payable, and a $12.4 million increase in other accrued expenses. Additionally, there was a $0.1 million increase in other assets and long-term liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $181.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended January 1, 2022. This decrease was driven primarily by the prior year acquisitions of G&M Stor-More Pty Ltd., DBCI and ACT with the net payments of $1.6 million, $169.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively, and decrease in capital expenditures of $1.5 million for the period for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared with the year ended January 1, 2022.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $97.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended January 1, 2022. This decrease was driven by $155.0 million in proceeds from issuance of long-term debt as a result of the DBCI acquisition not present in the current year, $60.8 million in principal payments of long-term debt, $12.7 million of net pay down on the line of credit, and $4.2 million decrease in net distributions paid to members. The decrease in principal payments of long-term debt was primarily attributed to the prepayment of approximately $61.6 million of existing Term Loan Debt upon the closing of the Business Combination in June 2021. As a result of the business combination, the Company received $334.9 million related to proceeds from the merger and $250.0 million in proceeds from PIPE. In addition, the Company paid $541.7 million to Midco, LLC unitholders and $44.5 million in transaction costs.
Capital allocation strategy
We continually assess our capital allocation strategy, including decisions relating to M&A, capital expenditures, and debt pay-downs. The timing, declaration and payment of future dividends, falls within the discretion of Janus’s Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including, but not limited to, Janus’s financial condition and earnings, the capital requirements of the business, restrictions imposed by applicable law, and any other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant from time to time.
Contractual Obligations

Summarized below are our approximate contractual obligations as of December 31, 2022 and their expected impact on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods:
Total Less than 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years Thereafter
(1)Supply Contracts relate to the multiple fixed price agreements.
(2)Other Liabilities relate to operating lease liabilities.
Debt Obligations is comprised of an Amendment No 4 First Lien Term Loan (see Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion) that expires on February 12, 2025. The Company’s intention is to amend and extend or refinance this loan well in advance of the current maturity date. In addition, the Company has finance lease liabilities included in long-term debt.
Other Liabilities consist of operating lease liabilities for real and personal property leases with various lease expiration dates (see Note 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion). The amount listed in the thereafter category is primarily comprised of five real property leases with expiration dates ranging from 2026 – 2036.
The table above does not include warranty liabilities because it is not certain when this liability will be funded and because this liability is considered immaterial. In addition to the contractual obligations and commitments listed and described above, Janus also had another commitment for which it is contingently liable as of December 31, 2022 consisting of an outstanding letter of credit of $0.4 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For the critical Accounting Policies and Estimates used in preparing Janus’s consolidated financial statements, Janus makes assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on its revenue, results from operations and net income, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. Janus bases its assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. To prepare these financial statements, Janus makes estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect what Janus reports as its assets and liabilities, what Janus discloses as contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.
In accordance with Janus’s policies, Janus regularly evaluates its estimates, assumptions, and judgments, including, but not limited to, those concerning revenue recognition, accounts receivables, inventory valuation, contingencies, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other long-lived intangible asset impairment, unit-based compensation, income taxes and acquisitions of businesses. The Company bases its estimates, assumptions, and judgments on its historical experience and on factors that are reasonable under the circumstances. The results involve judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. If Janus’s assumptions or conditions change, the actual results Janus reports may differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies affect the more significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments Janus uses to prepare these consolidated financial statements.
Emerging Growth Company Status
Pursuant to the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the FASB or the SEC either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. Janus qualifies as an emerging growth company. Janus intends to take advantage of the exemption for complying with new or revised accounting standards within the same time periods as private companies. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies.
Revenue Recognition
The majority of our revenues are recognized when we complete our contracts with customers to install self-storage doors, walls, hallways, swings, hardware, and other required components, and the control of the promised good or service is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For installation services that are not complete at the reporting date, we recognize revenue over time utilizing a cost-to-cost input method as we believe this represents the best measure of when goods and services are transferred to the customer. When this method is used, we estimate the costs to complete individual contracts and record as revenue that portion of the total contract price that is considered complete based on the relationship of costs incurred to date to total anticipated costs. Under the cost-to-cost method, the use of estimated costs to complete each contract is a significant variable in the process of determining recognized revenue and can change throughout the duration of a contract due to contract modifications and other factors impacting job completion. Our cost estimation process is based on the knowledge, significant experience and judgement of project management, finance professionals and operational management to assess a variety of factors to determine revenues on uncompleted contracts. Such factors include historical performance, costs of materials and labor, change orders and the nature of the work to be performed. We generally review and reassess our estimates for each uncompleted contract at least quarterly to reflect the latest reliable information available. Changes in these estimates could favorably or unfavorably impact revenues and their related profits.
Allowance for credit losses
On January 2, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326) (“CECL”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The Company selected the loss-rate method to be used in the CECL analysis for trade receivables and contract assets.
The Company determined that pooling accounts receivable by business units was the most appropriate because of the similarity of risk characteristics within each line such as customers and services offered. Historical losses and customer-specific reserve information that are used to calculate the historical loss rates are available for each business unit. During the pooling process, the Company identified two distinct customer types: commercial and self-storage. As these customer types have different risk characteristics, the Company concludes to pool the financial assets at this level within each business unit.
Commercial customers typically are customers contracting with the Company on short-term projects with smaller credit limits and overall, smaller project sizes. Due to the short-term nature and smaller scale of these types of projects, the Company expects minimal write-offs of its receivables at the commercial pool.
Self-storage projects typically involve general contractors and make up the largest portion of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. These projects are usually longer-term construction projects and billed over the course of construction. Credit limits are larger for these projects given the overall project size and duration. Due to the longer-term nature and larger scale of these types of projects, the Company expects a potential for more write-offs of its receivable balances within the Self-Storage pool.
40
Goodwill
Janus reviews goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its more likely than not that the goodwill may be impaired. If such circumstances or conditions exist, management applies the quantitative goodwill impairment test process under ASC 350-20. The Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, to identify any potential goodwill impairment. The Company records an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. We evaluate goodwill at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment).
Janus measures the fair value of the reporting units to which goodwill is allocated using an income based approach, a generally accepted valuation methodology, using relevant data available through and as of the impairment testing date. Under the income approach, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow method, projecting future cash flows of each reporting unit, as well as a terminal value, and discounting such cash flows at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows. The key estimates and factors used in this approach include, but are not limited to, revenue growth rates and profit margins based on internal forecasts, a weighted average cost of capital used to discount future cash flows, and a review with comparable market multiples for the industry segment as well as our historical operating trends, all of which are subject to uncertainty. Future adverse developments relating to such matters as the growth in the market for our reporting units, competition, general economic conditions, and the market appeal of products or anticipated profit margins could reduce the fair value of the reporting units and could result in an impairment of goodwill in the reporting unit.
Long-Lived and Indefinite-Lived Asset Impairment
Janus evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If a long-lived asset is tested for recoverability and the undiscounted estimated future cash flows to which the asset relates is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset cost is adjusted to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. No such charges were recognized during the periods presented.
Fair values assigned to the definite life intangible assets, consisting of customer relationships, noncompete agreements, backlog and other intangibles (i.e., software) are amortized on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives less than 15 years. Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying values. In determining the impairment of intangible assets, management considers an analysis under ASC 360-10-35-21. If an intangible asset is tested for recoverability and the undiscounted estimated future cash flows to which the asset relates is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset costs is adjusted to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value.
Trade names and trademarks have been identified as indefinite-lived intangible assets and are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually or when indicators of impairment exist. In determining the impairment of an intangible that is not subject to amortization, management performs a qualitative assessment under ASC 350-30-35-18. Management assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If it’s
determined that it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test, the quantitative impairment test for an indefinite-lived intangible asset consists of a comparison of the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, it is recognized as an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess.
Income Taxes
Prior to June 7, 2021, the Company was a limited liability company taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company was generally not directly subject to income taxes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and most applicable state laws. Therefore, taxable income or loss was reported to the members for inclusion in their respective tax returns.
After June 7, 2021, the Company is taxed as a Corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and similar sections of the state income tax laws. The Company’s effective tax rate is based on pre-tax earnings, enacted U.S. statutory tax rates, non-deductible expenses, and certain tax rate differences between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The foreign subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and Singapore as necessary. For tax reporting purposes, the taxable income or loss with respect to the 45% ownership in the joint venture operating in Mexico will be reflected in the income tax returns filed under that country’s jurisdiction. The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and foreign income taxes.
The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 includes amounts related to entities within the Company taxed as corporations in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Australia, and Singapore. The Company determines its provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate on year to date ordinary income and records any changes affecting the estimated annual effective tax rate in the interim period in which the change occurs. Additionally, the income tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are recognized entirely within the interim period in which the event occurs.
Management of Janus is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Based on Janus’ evaluation, Janus has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. Tax penalties and interest, if any, would be accrued as incurred and would be classified as tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Janus recognizes accrued interest associated with uncertain tax positions as part of interest expense and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of other expenses.

Business combinations
Under the acquisition method of accounting, Janus recognizes tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Janus records the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus fair value of noncontrolling interest, plus fair value of preexisting interest in the acquiree over the value of the net assets acquired as goodwill. The accounting for business combinations requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets and the fair value of contingent payment obligations. Janus uses a variety of information sources to determine the value of acquired assets and liabilities including: third-party appraisers for the values and lives of property, identifiable intangibles and inventories; and legal counsel or other advisors to assess the obligations associated with legal, environmental or other claims. Critical estimates in valuing customer relationships, noncompete agreements, trademarks and tradenames, and other intangible assets (e.g., backlog, software, and technology) acquired, include future cash flows that we expect to generate from the acquired assets. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these values, we could experience impairment charges which could be material.
We record contingent consideration resulting from a business combination at its fair value on the acquisition date. We generally determine the fair value of the contingent consideration using the Monte Carlo simulation, and Probability-Weighted Payment method. Each reporting period thereafter, we revalue these obligations and record increases or decreases in their fair value as an adjustment to operating expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration can result from changes in assumed discount periods and rates, and from changes pertaining to the achievement of the defined milestones. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period. Accordingly, future business and economic conditions, as well as changes in any of the assumptions described above, can materially impact the amount of contingent consideration expense we record in any given period.
Equity Incentive Plan and Unit Option Plan
2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan
Effective June 7, 2021, the Company implemented an equity incentive program designed to enhance the profitability and value of its investment for the benefit of its stockholders by enabling the Company to offer eligible directors, officers and employees equity-based incentives in order to attract, retain and reward such individuals and strengthen the mutuality of interest between such individuals and the Company’s stockholders.
The Company measures compensation expense for stock-based awards under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Stock-based compensation is measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period. The Company records compensation cost for these awards using the straight-line method. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Midco – Common B Unit Incentive Plan
Prior to the Business Combination, commencing on March 15, 2018, the Board of Directors of Midco approved the Class B Unit Incentive Plan (the “Class B Plan”), which was a form of long-term compensation that provided for the issuance of ownership units to employees for purposes of retaining them and enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of Midco. As a result of the Business Combination, the Board of Directors approved an acceleration of the awards granted in connection with the Class B Plan, to allow accelerated vesting of the units upon consummation of the Business Combination. On the date of the Closing, the accelerated vesting for 16,079 units (equivalent to 4,012,873 shares of Company common stock) resulted in $5.2 million of non-cash share-based compensation recorded to general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the year ended January 1, 2022.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign currency exposures
Janus is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to currency translation exposure because the operations of its subsidiaries are measured in their functional currency which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates; particularly, the United Kingdom and Australia. Any currency balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary are re-measured into the functional currency, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in the other income (expense) in Janus’ income statement. In turn, subsidiary income statement balances that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars, Janus’ functional currency, in consolidation using the average exchange rate in effect during each fiscal month during the period, with any related gain or loss recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss). The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that use functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation using period end exchange rates, with the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Janus seeks to naturally hedge its foreign exchange transaction exposure by matching the transaction currencies for its cash inflows and outflows and maintaining access to credit in the principal currencies in which it conducts business. Janus does not currently hedge our foreign exchange transaction or translation exposure but may consider doing so in the future.
Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments.
Commodity/raw material price exposures and concentration of supplier risk
Janus’s biggest commodity Company spend is steel coils, which is subject to price volatility due to external factors, and comprises approximately, 62.2% and 61.8% of commodity spend on a consolidated level for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively. Historically, exposures associated with these costs were primarily managed through terms of the sales and by maintaining relationships with multiple vendors. Prices for spot market purchases were negotiated on a continuous basis in line with the market at the time. Other than short term supply contracts and occasional strategic purchases of larger quantities of certain raw materials, we generally buy materials on an as-needed basis. In early 2020 Janus entered into multiple fixed price agreements to combat fluctuations in the price of steel locking in prices and will continue to do so in the future. These fixed price agreements expect to cover approximately 40.7% of estimated steel purchases for fiscal year end. We have not entered into hedges with respect to our raw material costs at this time, but we may choose to enter into such hedges in the future.
Interest rate exposure
As indicated in Note 9 of Janus’ consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2022, outstanding borrowings under its credit facilities include a First Lien Amendment No. 4 term loan. On August 18, 2021, the Company completed a refinancing of its First Lien Amendment No. 3, in which the principal terms of the amendment were new borrowings of $155 million which was used to fund the DBCI acquisition. The Amendment No. 4 First Lien is comprised of a syndicate of lenders originating on August 18, 2021 in the amount of $726 million with interest payable in arrears. The outstanding loan balance is to be repaid on a quarterly basis of 0.25% of the original balance beginning the last day of September 2021 with the remaining principal due on the maturity date of February 12, 2025. As chosen by the Company, the amended loan bears interest at a floating rate per annum consisting of LIBOR, plus an applicable margin percent (effective interest rate of 7.98% as of December 31, 2022).
Janus also has a $80.0 million credit facility with a financial institution, for the year ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, there was no outstanding amounts and $6.4 million outstanding amounts under this facility, respectively. The interest rate on the facility is based on a base rate, unless a LIBOR Rate option is chosen by the Company. If the LIBOR Rate is elected, the interest computation is equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin. If the Base Rate is elected, the interest computation is equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin. At the beginning of each quarter the applicable margin is set and determined by the administrative agent based on the average net availability on the line of credit for the previous quarter. As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the interest rate in effect for the facility was 7.8% and 3.5%, respectively.
Janus experiences risk related to fluctuations in the LIBOR rate and base rate at any given time. Taking into account the LIBOR floor of 1.0%, a hypothetical increase or decrease in 100 basis points of the LIBOR rate on the amounts outstanding under the Amendment No. 4 to 1st Lien term loan as of December 31, 2022, would have led to an approximate $7.1 million increase and $7.1 million decrease in the interest expense of the Amendment No. 4 to 1st Lien term loan on an annual basis. Historically, our management entered into interest rate hedges, but has not done so within the periods presented. Management would consider using such mitigating strategy in the future to combat potential exposure. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors for further information on the risks associated with our interest rate exposure.
Credit risk
As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents were maintained at major financial institutions in the United States, Europe, Singapore, and Australia, and our current deposits are likely in excess of insured limits. Based on the information available as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, these institutions have sufficient assets and liquidity to conduct their operations in the ordinary course of business with little or no credit risk to us.
43
Our accounts receivable primarily relate to revenue from the sale of products and services to established customers. To mitigate credit risk, ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition are performed, deposits are required for select customers, and lien rights on any jobs in which Janus provides subcontracted installation services are available. As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, Janus’ top 10 customers represented less than 25% and 25% of our gross trade accounts receivable, respectively.
Impact of Inflation
Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results if we are unsuccessful in passing such inflationary increases on to our customers in the form of higher prices. Inflationary pressures have significantly impacted our 2022 results of operations.

Temple, GA
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Janus International Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases as of January 2, 2022, due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.
The Business Combination, completed as of June 7, 2021, was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, JIH is treated as the acquired company and Midco is treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes (the “Combined Company”). Midco has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
•Janus Midco equityholders have the majority ownership and voting rights in the Combined Company. The relative voting rights is equivalent to equity ownership (each share of common stock is one vote). JIH shareholders (IPO investors, founders, PIPE investors) hold 49.2% voting interest compared to Janus Midco’s 50.8% voting interest.
•The board of directors of the Combined Company is composed of nine directors, with Janus Midco equity holders having the ability to elect or appoint a majority of the board of directors in the Combined Company.
•Janus Midco’s senior management are the senior management of the Combined Company.
•The Combined Company has assumed the Janus name.
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Combined Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Midco with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of Midco issuing stock for the net assets of JIH, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of JIH were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Midco is deemed to be the predecessor of the Company, and the consolidated assets and liabilities and results of operations prior to the Closing Date are those of Midco. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and net income per share available to common stockholders, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement.
One-time direct and incremental transaction costs incurred by the Company were recorded based on the activities to which the costs relate and the structure of the transaction. The costs relating to the issuance of equity is recorded as a reduction of the amount of equity raised, presented in additional paid in capital, while all costs related to the warrants and contingent consideration were estimated and charged to expense.
Principles of Consolidation
The 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.
51
Reclassification
On the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company reclassified prior year “Intangible asset” account balances to conform to the current year presentation. Refer to Note 5, Acquired Intangible Assets and Goodwill, for the separate intangible assets’ account balances.
On the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company made reclassifications to the comparable years ended January 1, 2022 and December 26, 2020 to conform with the current year presentation. The change had no impact on Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities, Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities, or Cash Flows Provided By (Used) in Financing Activities.
Prior Period Financial Statement Correction of Immaterial Error
Subsequent to the issuance of the fiscal year 2021 consolidated financial statements, an immaterial error was identified relating to the disclosure of certain segment information for the years ended December 26, 2020 and January 1, 2022. The immaterial error impacted previously reported segment revenues by timing and by sales channel for Janus North America and Janus International and previously reported segment operating income for Janus North America and Janus International. These revisions had no effect on previously reported net income.

The effect of correcting the immaterial error in the fiscal year 2022 consolidated financial statements is shown in the following table:

Use of Estimates in the Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, income taxes and the effective tax rates, reserves for inventory obsolescence, the fair value of contingent consideration and earnout, 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, estimated progress toward completion for certain revenue contracts, allowances for uncollectible receivable balances, fair values and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill and assumptions used in the recognition of contract assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
53
The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed the insured limits of the local country, which may lead to a concentration of credit risk. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances were deposited with financial institutions which management has determined to be high-credit quality institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company determines the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Every quarter, the Company evaluates the customer group using the accounts receivable aging report and its best judgment when considering changes in customers' credit ratings, level of delinquency,
customers' historical payments and loss experience, current market and economic conditions, and expectations of future market and economic conditions. The Company reserves 100% of the amounts deemed uncollectible. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is determined that internal collection efforts should no longer be pursued.
On January 2, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326) (“CECL”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Refer to Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements section of this note for more information on the impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company gathered information about its current bad debt reserve and write-off practices and loss methodology, in-scope assets, historical credit losses, proposed pooling approach and expected changes to business practices under CECL. Accounts receivables are stated at estimated net realizable value from the sale of products and services to established customers. The Company determined that pooling accounts receivable by business units was the most appropriate because of the similarity of risk characteristics within each line such as customers and services offered. Historical losses and customer-specific reserve information that are used to calculate the historical loss rates are available for each business unit.
During the pooling process, the Company identified two distinct customer types: commercial and self-storage. As these customer types have different risk characteristics, the Company concludes to pool the financial assets at this level within each business unit.
Commercial customers typically are customers contracting with the Company on short-term projects with smaller credit limits and overall, smaller project sizes. Due to the short-term nature and smaller scale of these types of projects, the Company expects minimal write-offs of its receivables at the commercial pool.
Self-storage projects typically involve general contractors and make up the largest portion of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. These projects are usually longer-term construction projects and billed over the course of construction. Credit limits are larger for these projects given the overall project size and duration. Due to the longer-term nature and larger scale of these types of projects, the Company expects a potential for more write-offs of its receivable balances within the self-storage pool.
The Company reviewed methods provided by the guidance and determined to use the loss-rate method in the CECL analysis for trade receivables and contract assets. This loss-rate method was selected as there is reliable historical information available by business unit, and this historical information was determined to be representative of the Company’s current customers, products, services, and billing practices.
The summary of activity in the allowance for credit losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and the allowance for doubtful accounts for the twelve months ended January 1, 2022 are as follows:
(1) On January 2, 2022, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which introduced a new model known as CECL.
Inventories
Inventories are measured using either the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or average cost. Labor and overhead costs associated with inventory produced by the Company are capitalized. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022. The Company has recorded a reserve for inventory obsolescence as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, of approximately $2,034 and $1,295, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment acquired in business combinations are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and are subsequently stated less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment otherwise acquired are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
54
charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their respective useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Business Combinations
We account for business acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations". This standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain provisions of this standard prescribe, among other things, the determination of acquisition date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration) and the exclusion of transaction costs from acquisition accounting.
The determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves assessments of factors such as the expected future cash flows associated with individual assets and liabilities and appropriate discount rates at the acquisition date. Results of operations for acquired companies are included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combination.
Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment annually at the beginning of the fiscal year fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it’s more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is below its carrying amount, as set forth in ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.” The Company tests for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The amount of goodwill acquired in a business combination that is assigned to one or more reporting units as of the acquisition date is the excess of the purchase price of the acquired businesses (or portion thereof) included in the reporting unit, over the fair value assigned to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed from a market participant perspective. Goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit(s) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination even though other assets or liabilities of the acquired entity may not be assigned to that reporting unit.
ASC 350 allows an optional qualitative assessment as part of annual impairment testing, prior to a quantitative assessment test, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount. If a qualitative assessment determines an impairment is more likely than not, the Company is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, no further analysis is required. Alternatively, the Company may elect to proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test.
In conducting a qualitative assessment, the Company analyzes actual and projected growth trends for net sales and margin for each reporting unit, as well as historical performance versus plan and the results of prior quantitative tests performed. Additionally, the Company assesses factors that may impact its business, including macroeconomic conditions and the related impact, market-related exposures, plans to market for sale all or a portion of the business, competitive changes, new or discontinued product lines, changes in key personnel, and any potential risks to projected financial results.
If performed, the quantitative test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss in the amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We determine the fair value of each reporting unit by weighting the results of the income approach and the market approach.
Based upon our review and analysis, no impairments were deemed to have occurred during any of the years presented. Refer to Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further detail.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets relate to the value associated with our customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and tradenames and trademarks, and other intangibles, at the time of acquisition through business combinations. The Company determined the fair value of intangible assets acquired through an income approach, using the excess earnings method for customer relationships. Under the excess earnings method, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable solely to the intangible asset over its remaining economic life. The relief from royalty method was used to determine the fair value of tradenames and trademarks. The valuation models were based on estimates of future operating projections of the acquired business as well as judgments on the discount rates used and other variables. We determined the forecasts based on a number of factors, including our best estimate of near-term sales expectations and long-term projections, which include review of internal and independent market analyses. The discount rate used was representative of the weighted average cost of capital. The Company regularly evaluates the amortization period assigned to each intangible asset to ensure that there have not been any events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives. Refer to Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further detail.
Lease Assets
The Company leases certain logistics, office, and manufacturing facilities, as well as vehicles, copiers and other equipment under long-term operating and financing leases with varying terms. We adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 on January 2, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach and, as a result, did not restate
55
prior periods. The Company has recognized the cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company elected to adopt the package of practical expedients which apply to leases that commenced before the adoption date. By electing the package of practical expedients, the Company did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and the initial direct costs for any existing leases.
We record our operating lease right of use ("ROU") assets and liabilities at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments and initial direct costs, offset by lease incentives. Any renewal or termination options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The Company does not consider renewal periods or early terminations to be reasonably certain and are thus not included in the lease term for real estate or equipment assets. While some leases provide for variable payments, they are not included in the ROU assets and lease liabilities because they are not based on an index or rate. We have made an accounting policy election to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities with a term of 12 months or less unless the lease includes an option to renew or purchase the underlying asset that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
Non-lease components for real estate leases primarily relate to common area maintenance, insurance, taxes, utilities and non-lease components for equipment, vehicles and leases within supply agreements primarily relate to usage, repairs, and maintenance. For all of our leases, we apply a practical expedient to include these non-lease components in calculating the ROU asset and lease liability. As the implicit rate is not readily determinable for our leases, we apply a portfolio approach using an estimated incremental borrowing rate to determine the initial present value of lease payments over the lease terms on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate based on the rates of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, and in a similar economic environment. We use the unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjust that rate to approximate a collateralized rate, and apply the rate based on the currency of the lease, which is updated on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease liabilities. See Note 16, Leased Assets for additional details.
Accounting for Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes accrued interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits as part of Interest expense, and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as part of Other expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations with the customer are satisfied. Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” a performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Our performance obligations include material and installation. Material revenue is recognized at a point in time when delivery of the material to the customer takes place, which is either FOB shipping point or FOB destination. Installation services revenue is recognized over time as the customer benefits based upon a cost-to-cost input method for all elements of the contract. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the standalone selling price for material is readily observable and selling price for installation is estimated by maximizing observable inputs with consideration of market conditions, entity-specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer. Our revenues are generated from contracts with customers and the nature, timing, and any uncertainty in the recognition of revenues is not affected by the type of good, service, customer or geographical region to which the performance obligation relates. Payment terms are short-term, are customary for our industry and in some cases, early payment incentives are offered. Janus’s contracts typically are less than one year in length and do not have significant financing components.
For installation services that are not complete at the reporting date, we recognize revenue over time utilizing a cost-to-cost input method as we believe this represents the best measure of when goods and services are transferred to the customer. When this method is used, we estimate the costs to complete individual contracts and record as revenue that portion of the total contract price that is considered complete based on the relationship of costs incurred to date to total anticipated costs. Under the cost-to-cost method, the use of estimated costs to complete each contract is a significant variable in the process of determining recognized revenue and can change throughout the duration of a contract due to contract modifications and other factors impacting job completion. Our cost estimation process is based on the knowledge, significant experience and judgement of project management, finance professionals and operational management to assess a variety of factors to determine revenues on uncompleted contracts. Such factors include historical performance, costs of materials and labor, change orders and the nature of the work to be “performed.”
Contract assets are disclosed as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, and contract liabilities are disclosed as billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company derives subscription revenue from continued software support and through the Nokē Smart Entry System, a product which provides mobile access for tenants and remote monitoring and tracking for operators. We determine standalone selling price for recurring software revenue by using the adjusted market assessment approach. The recurring revenue recognized from the Nokē Smart Entry System for the years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022, and December 26, 2020 was $1,312, $715 and $255, respectively.
The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good rather than a promised service. As a result, shipping and handling costs are recorded as expenses in the same period the revenue is recognized.
Commissions to internal and external sales representatives are considered costs to obtain contracts. As these contracts are less than one year, these costs are expensed as incurred.
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. As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 there was $876 and $736 of product warranties recorded in Accrued Expenses, respectively.
The following activity related to product warranty liabilities was recorded in Other accrued expenses during the years ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively:
Balance at beginning of period $ 736 $ 611
Aggregate changes in the product warranty liability 140 125
Balance at end of period $ 876 $ 736
Shipping and Handling (Revenue & Cost of Sales)
The Company records all amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling as revenue earned for the goods provided. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs were approximately $42,713, $35,241 and $24,061 for the years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022, and December 26, 2020 respectively.
Advertising costs
The Company records all advertising related costs to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income during the year incurred and they are included in the selling and marketing line. During the years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022, and December 26, 2020, the Company incurred and expensed advertising costs of $2,556, $2,004 and $1,326, respectively.
StockCompensation
We recognize expense for share-based compensation plans based on the estimated fair value of the related awards in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Pursuant to our incentive stock plans, we can grant stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to employees and our non-employee directors. The majority of our awards are restricted stock units granted to employees, which vest over four years. We charge compensation expense under the plan to earnings over each award’s individual vesting period. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. See “Note 12. Equity Compensation” for additional information.
Deferred Finance Fees
Deferred financing fees consist of loan costs, which are being amortized on the effective interest method over the life of the related debt. During the year ended January 1, 2022, the Company incurred approximately $4,322 in deferred finance fees in connection with the 2021 debt transactions. There were no additional deferred finance fees capitalized for the year ended December 31, 2022 . Debt issuances are more fully described in Note 8 Line of Credit and Note 9 Long-Term Debt.
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;
57
•Level 2, inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
•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 the Company’s debt approximates its carrying amount as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 due to its variable interest rate that is tied to the current London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate plus an applicable margin and consistency in our credit rating. To estimate the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, the Company utilized fair value based risk measurements that are indirectly observable, such as credit risk that falls within Level 2 of the Fair Value hierarchy.
For the year ended January 1, 2022, the public warrants were valued at market price. The fair value of the private warrants contains significant unobservable inputs including the expected term and volatility. Therefore, the private warrant liabilities were evaluated to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The fair value of private warrants is estimated using a Binomial Lattice in a risk-neutral framework. Specifically, the future stock price of the Company is modeled assuming a Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) in a risk-neutral framework. For each modeled future price, the warrant payoff is calculated based on the contractual terms, and then discounted at the term-matched risk-free rate. Finally, the fair value of the private warrants was calculated as the probability-weighted present value over all future modeled payoffs.The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the private warrants:
Warrant term (yrs.) 4.7
Volatility 30.4 %
Risk-free rate 0.91 %
Dividend yield — %
The change in the fair value of warrant liabilities is as follows:
Balance assumed in the Business Combination at June 7, 2021 $ 37,149
Conversion of Private warrants to Public warrants (11,091)
Redeemed/exercised warrants (31,976)
Change in fair value of warrants 5,918
Balance at January 1, 2022 $ —
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an evaluation of recoverability is required, the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset group are compared to the asset group’s carrying amount to determine if an impairment is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. No impairment was recorded during any of the fiscal years presented.
Warrant Liability
The Company classifies Private Placement Warrants (defined and discussed in Note 13 - Stockholders’ Equity) as liabilities. At the end of each reporting period, changes in fair value during the period are recognized as a component of other income (expense), net within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company continued adjusting the warrant liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of a) the exercise or expiration of the warrants or b) the redemption of the warrants, at which time the warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
On October 13, 2021, Janus announced that it would redeem all of its outstanding Private and Public warrants to purchase shares of Janus’s common stock that were issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2021 by and between Janus and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”) and the Warrant Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2021, by and between Janus and the Warrant Agent, for a redemption price of $0.10 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”), that remain outstanding at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 12, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”). Since all of the Private Placement Warrants were exercised or redeemed by January 1, 2022, the associated warrant liabilities were reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Foreign Currency Translation
The local currency is the functional currency for all of the Company’s foreign operations. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet reporting date, while income and expenses are translated at the average monthly exchange rates during the period. Adjustments from the translating financial statements in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are recorded in other comprehensive income. The income tax effect of currency translation adjustments related to foreign subsidiaries that are not considered indefinitely reinvested is recorded as a component of deferred taxes with an offset to other comprehensive income. We
58
record gains and losses from changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the reporting location’s functional currency in Other income (expense), in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents 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 December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2022 no customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance
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 Executive Officer, its 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 20, Segments, for further detail.
