Escalade, Incorporated reported strong results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Net sales were $57.7 million, up 6.2% from $54.3 million a year earlier, driven by archery (including the Gold Tip acquisition), safety, table tennis and basketball, partially offset by weaker outdoor games.
Net income rose to $9.4 million from $1.8 million, and diluted EPS increased to $0.68 from $0.13. Profitability was boosted by $10.2 million of tariff recoveries related to refunds of prior IEEPA tariffs, including $9.9 million recorded in tariff recovery within operating income and $0.3 million of interest income. The company recorded a $9.0 million tariff receivable and received $1.2 million in cash during the quarter, followed by an additional $9.0 million after quarter-end.
Gross margin improved to 26.2% from 24.7%, while SG&A expenses increased 21.7% to $12.5 million due to selling and marketing for recent acquisitions and higher variable compensation. For the first six months, net income was $13.8 million versus $4.4 million, with EPS of $1.00 versus $0.32. Cash stood at $16.4 million and total debt at $14.9 million, with the revolving credit facility undrawn; management expects 2026 and early 2027 cash flows to cover the remaining term loan due January 21, 2027. Escalade continued returning capital through a quarterly dividend of $0.1525 per share (about $2.1 million) and repurchased 54,414 shares in May under its $20 million authorization, while highlighting ongoing risks from changing U.S. and international tariff and trade policies.
