Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company reported sharply improved second quarter 2026 results, with revenue up 11.6% to $142.6 million from $127.8 million and gross margin rising to 54.3% from 27.5%. Operating profit increased to $43.2 million, and net income reached $33.7 million, or $2.49 per diluted share.
Performance was boosted by one-time benefits from a February 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on IEEPA tariffs, including $36.5 million of refunds and sell-through of inventory no longer subject to those tariffs; excluding these items, gross margin would have been 26.1%. For the first half, operating cash flow was $61.5 million, and the company ended June 30, 2026 with $101.5 million of cash and a net cash position of $51.5 million compared to net debt a year earlier.
The company repurchased 97,869 Class A shares for $2.0 million and paid $1.7 million in dividends in the quarter. For 2026, management expects revenue growth to approach the mid-single digit range, gross margins to be modestly better than 2025, and operating profit to decline high-single digits while maintaining expected cash flow from operations less investing of $35 million to $45 million.
Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company reported that Andrew C. Carington has departed the company, effective immediately. He ceased serving as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, and as an employee of the company, its subsidiaries and affiliates.

In addition, stockholders ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 by a wide margin, with 42,592,210 votes for, 13,361 against and 6,973 abstentions.
Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company reported stronger profitability for the first quarter of 2026 despite lower sales. Revenue declined 8.6% to $122.0 million, mainly from weaker U.S. consumer demand, while the Health business delivered strong double-digit revenue growth.
Gross margin expanded 510 basis points to 29.7%, helped by favorable pricing and mix and a one-time 190 bps benefit from inventory previously expected to face IEEPA tariffs that were eliminated by a Supreme Court ruling. Operating profit more than doubled to $5.0 million from $2.3 million, and diluted EPS rose to $0.26 from $0.13.
Net income was $3.5 million. Operating cash flow was $3.3 million, and the company ended the quarter with $2.6 million of net debt. Hamilton Beach repurchased 55,413 Class A shares for $0.9 million and paid $1.6 million in dividends. Management reiterated 2026 guidance for revenue growth approaching the mid-single-digit range, gross margins similar to or slightly better than 2025, and a planned low-teens percentage decline in operating profit driven by an extra $6 million of advertising and about $6 million of accelerated ERP depreciation.
Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company reported mixed fourth quarter and full year 2025 results shaped by tariff disruptions and a shifting business mix. In the fourth quarter, revenue was relatively flat at $212.9 million, while gross margin expanded to 28.3% and operating profit rose 8.0% to $25.4 million. However, diluted EPS declined to $1.38 from $1.75, mainly reflecting a less favorable tax comparison.
For full year 2025, revenue fell 7.3% to $606.9 million, operating profit declined to $36.6 million from $43.2 million, and diluted EPS eased to $1.95 from $2.20. Operating cash flow dropped to $13.8 million from $65.4 million, and year-end net debt stood at $2.7 million. Management cited a one-time incremental tariff cost of $5.3 million and weaker U.S. consumer demand, partially offset by growth in higher-margin Commercial and Health businesses.
Looking to 2026, the company expects revenue growth to approach mid-single digits, with gross margins similar to or slightly better than 2025. Operating profit is projected to decline by a low-teens percentage as Hamilton Beach increases advertising by about $6 million and records roughly $6 million of accelerated ERP depreciation. Cash flow from operating activities less investing cash outflows is targeted between $35 million and $45 million.
