The Middleby Corporation reported higher sales but lower profitability as it reshapes its portfolio. For the six months ended July 4, 2026, net sales from continuing operations rose 12.3% to $1,715.5 million, led by both Commercial Foodservice and Food Processing, including contributions from 2025 acquisitions.
Despite growth, margins compressed: gross margin fell to 38.4% from 39.9% and net earnings from continuing operations declined to $139.5 million from $186.7 million, weighed down by higher interest expense, a higher effective tax rate of 29.6%, and a $28.9 million equity-method loss from the new Residential affiliate, Composition Brands.
Strategic actions were significant. The company sold 51% of its Residential Kitchen Equipment Group, receiving $564.6 million cash and a note now valued at $86.9 million, and recorded a large discontinued-operations loss of $134.8 million, leaving total net earnings at $4.7 million. Middleby also completed the spin-off of food processing business Midera, which will be reported as discontinued operations starting in the third quarter.
Operating cash flow from continuing operations remained strong at $187.5 million. The company used proceeds and cash to reduce total debt to $2.0 billion from $2.17 billion while aggressively repurchasing shares, spending $581.9 million on buybacks in the first half and ending with equity of $2.21 billion.
The Middleby Corporation reported second-quarter 2026 results highlighted by net sales of $875.5 million, up 9.9% year over year and 6.4% on an organic basis. Commercial Foodservice drove growth with 8.3% organic net sales growth, while total company Adjusted EBITDA reached $193.2 million, up from $181.6 million. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $2.35 versus $2.20 a year ago.
The company completed the spin-off of its Food Processing business, becoming a pure-play commercial foodservice company, and repurchased 1.4 million shares (2.9% of shares outstanding) in the quarter. Net earnings from continuing operations were $54.2 million, with diluted GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $1.20, down from $1.91, reflecting higher taxes, strategic transaction costs, and equity losses of an affiliate. Net leverage was 2.4x, with net debt of $1.8 billion and borrowing availability of about $2.6 billion.
For the post-spin, Commercial Foodservice-focused business (excluding Food Processing and Residential), management expects 2026 net sales of $2.48–$2.53 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of $572–$588 million, and Adjusted EPS of $6.73–$6.89, implying growth over 2025 adjusted EPS of $6.10.
