MIDDLEBY Corp (MIDD) director Sarah Palisi Chapin reported two equity-related acquisitions. On July 20, 2026, she acquired 349 shares of common stock through a conversion of restricted stock units (RSUs), reflecting an adjustment from 1,161 RSUs to 1,510 RSUs under an Employee Matters Agreement tied to the spin-off of Midera Food Processing, Inc., completed on July 6, 2026. On August 26, 2026, she received a grant of 558 time-based RSUs, which vested in full on that date, each RSU representing one share of common stock upon vesting. No sales or dispositions were reported.
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.

Certain directors and an executive resigned from Middleby roles to join Midera’s board and management team in connection with the transaction.
The Middleby Corporation detailed financing steps tied to the planned spin-off of its food processing business, Midera Food Processing, into a standalone public company.

In connection with the anticipated spin-off and this credit agreement, the borrower used credit facility borrowings and cash on hand to make a $233 million distribution to Middleby Marshall Inc., a wholly owned Middleby subsidiary. The spin-off remains targeted for July 6, 2026, following effectiveness of Midera’s Form 10 registration on June 17, 2026.

The distribution is scheduled to occur at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on July 6, 2026, subject to conditions in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Midera common stock is expected to trade on Nasdaq as “MFP” starting July 7, 2026, following a “when-issued” period under “MFPVV.” Middleby expects the spin-off to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
