Fox Factory Holding Corp. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results
Tariff refunds supported quarterly adjusted earnings, while the Marucci divestiture helped reduce debt and generated a loss.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Fox Factory Holding (NASDAQ: FOXF) reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 net sales of $338.4 million, down from the prior-year quarter. Sales fell 10.1%, while the net loss attributable to stockholders widened to $109.6 million, or $2.61 per diluted share, including a $121.3 million loss on divestitures. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP earnings measure, rose to $50.4 million from $44.4 million, including approximately $12 million of tariff refunds.
The Marucci sale closed September 25, with approximately $200.0 million of proceeds helping fund debt repayments. Net debt fell to $352.0 million from $615.5 million at fiscal 2025 year-end. Powered Vehicles sales grew, but both other segments declined. FOX expects fiscal 2026 sales of $1.35 billion to $1.38 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $157 million to $162 million including tariff refunds, or $143 million to $148 million excluding them.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

DULUTH, Ga., Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fox Factory Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: FOXF) (“FOX” or the “Company”), a premium brand and a global leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of performance-defining products and systems for customers worldwide, today reported financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2026.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights
- Completed the divestiture of Marucci Sports (the “Marucci Divestiture”) on September 25, 2026 with proceeds immediately allocated to debt reduction
- Reduced net debt by
$263.5 million since 2025 fiscal year end; reduced net leverage by more than one turn since the end of the second quarter, to approximately 2.4x - Net sales of
$338.4 million , including approximately$33 million of net sales from the Marucci business prior to its divestiture - Net loss attributable to FOX stockholders of
$109.6 million , or$2.61 per diluted share, which includes a$121.3 million loss on divestitures, compared to net loss attributable to FOX stockholders of$0.6 million , or$0.02 per diluted share in the prior year - Adjusted net income of
$22.7 million , or$0.54 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of$9.9 million , or$0.23 per diluted share in the prior year - Adjusted EBITDA of
$50.4 million , which includes approximately$12 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, compared to$44.4 million in the prior year - Updates fourth quarter outlook and narrows fiscal 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook
Doug Grimm, FOX’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This has been a quarter of significant change for FOX, and we have taken decisive steps to position the Company for improved execution. The divestment of Marucci simplified our portfolio, increased our focus on our core product offerings and allowed us to substantially reduce our debt. Our third quarter results reflect the pressures we described in our October update, including a supply disruption in Powered Vehicles, higher input costs and operational challenges in our Aftermarket Applications’ upfit business.”
Mr. Grimm continued, “FOX has great brands, great products and a great team, and I believe there is a significant opportunity to turn those strengths into stronger, more consistent financial results. That starts with how we operate. As ‘One FOX’, we are working business-by-business and plant-by-plant to address the issues within our control, streamline our processes and hold ourselves accountable for results. At the same time, we will continue to prioritize investment in the high-performance products that our customers count on.”

Outlook
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company is updating its outlook provided on October 16, 2026, and expects:
- Net sales in the range of
$287 million to$313 million ; and - Adjusted EBITDA in the range of
$25 million to$30 million .
For the fiscal year 2026, the Company is narrowing its outlook for adjusted EBITDA provided on October 16, 2026, to account for the year-to-date reported results and its updated fourth quarter expectations:
- Net sales in the range of
$1.35 billion to$1.38 billion ; - Adjusted EBITDA in the range of
$143 million to$148 million , excluding approximately$14 million of IEEPA tariff refunds received in the second and third quarters; and - Adjusted EBITDA, including IEEPA tariff refunds, in the range of
$157 million to$162 million .
Fourth quarter guidance excludes Marucci. Full year guidance includes Marucci results through the September 25, 2026 closing. Guidance reflects input costs at current levels, including aluminum, steel and freight inflation, and assumes no further increases. The Company has received the majority of the IEEPA tariff refunds it expects, and the outlook does not include any additional refunds.
A quantitative reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026 is not available without unreasonable efforts because management cannot predict, with sufficient certainty, all of the elements necessary to provide such a reconciliation. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”), FOX includes in this press release certain non-GAAP financial measures consisting of “adjusted operating expense,” “adjusted operating expense margin”, “adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings per share,” “adjusted EBITDA,” “adjusted EBITDA margin,” and “net debt,” all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. FOX defines adjusted operating expense as operating expense adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment, litigation and settlement-related expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, and certain strategic transformation costs. FOX defines adjusted operating expense margin as adjusted operating expense divided by net sales. FOX defines adjusted net income as net income (loss) attributable to FOX stockholders adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment, litigation and settlement-related expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, losses on divestitures, and strategic transformation costs, all net of applicable tax. Adjusted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of basic or diluted shares of common stock outstanding during the period. FOX defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest and other expense (income), net, income taxes or tax benefits, amortization of purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment, depreciation, stock-based compensation, litigation and settlement related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, losses on divestitures, and strategic transformation costs that are more fully described in the tables included at the end of this press release. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. These adjustments are more fully described in the tables included at the end of this press release. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents.
FOX includes these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with additional insight on the Company’s operating performance and trends, as well as to supplement their understanding of the results of the Company’s core operations. In particular, the exclusion of certain items in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures consisting of adjusted operating expense, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA (and accordingly, adjusted operating expense margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA margin) can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, including the fact that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies because other companies may calculate adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating expense margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin differently than FOX does. For more information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables included at the end of this press release.

What were Fox Factory's third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings results?
Fox Factory reported a $109.6 million net loss attributable to stockholders, or $2.61 per diluted share, versus a $0.6 million loss, or $0.02 per diluted share, a year earlier. Sales declined 10.1% to $338.4 million. Adjusted net income was $22.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared with $9.9 million, or $0.23.
What is Fox Factory's fiscal 2026 outlook?
Fox Factory expects fiscal 2026 sales of $1.35 billion to $1.38 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $157 million to $162 million including tariff refunds. Excluding approximately $14 million of refunds received in the second and third quarters, adjusted EBITDA guidance is $143 million to $148 million.
What cost and tariff assumptions underpin Fox Factory's updated guidance?
The outlook assumes input costs remain at current levels without further increases, including aluminum, steel and freight inflation. FOX has received the majority of the tariff refunds it expects, and its outlook includes no additional refunds.
What does Fox Factory's Phase 2 profit optimization initiative involve?
Phase 2 involves exiting operations that do not improve margins, improving supply-chain and materials costs, and reducing sales, marketing and general administrative expenses. FOX also continues to evaluate alternatives for other assets against its profitability standards and objectives.
