Middleby Launching New Grills, Gaining Floor Space and Consolidating

Middleby reported earnings this morning and had some updates on their recently acquired grill brands. Much like other companies in the space, their margins are being dragged down by Masterbuilt, Char-Griller and Kamado Joe. They did have some positive news though, heading into 2023.

Grill Margins

They went from having a margin of 20.9% in Q3 2021 in their Residential Cooking vertical, which was prior to acquiring the brands, to a margin of 15.8% this year. They have begun consolidating the three brands to seek out synergies and boost margins.
