Adjusted EBITDA reached $35.1 million with a 21.3% margin, while free cash flow from continuing operations was $23.9 million. However, a $15.6 million loss from discontinued operations, primarily related to Myers Tire Supply, led to a net loss of $1.8 million. The company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $289.3 million and a net leverage ratio of 2.2x, and reaffirmed its portfolio transformation, operating as a single segment with 2026 outlooks ranging from strong growth in Infrastructure to slightly down in Food & Beverage.

Insights

Core earnings and cash flow improved sharply, but discontinued operations drove a small net loss.

Myers Industries delivered meaningful margin-driven growth in Q1 2026. Net sales from continuing operations rose modestly to $164.6M, but income from continuing operations nearly doubled to $13.8M as gross margin expanded 330 basis points and operating margin expanded 450 basis points.

Non-GAAP metrics also strengthened, with adjusted EBITDA up 27% to $35.1M and adjusted EPS from continuing operations rising to $0.44 from $0.28. Free cash flow of $23.9M supported balance sheet improvement, reducing net debt by $18.3M and bringing net leverage to 2.2x as of March 31, 2026.

The quarter was weighed down by a $15.6M loss from discontinued operations tied to the Myers Tire Supply divestiture, resulting in a small net loss of $1.8M. The company’s 2026 outlook calls for strong growth in Infrastructure, moderate growth in Industrial, stable Vehicle and Consumer demand, and slightly down Food & Beverage, reflecting a more focused single-segment portfolio following its transformation actions.

Net leverage ratio 2.2x As of March 31, 2026 under credit agreement
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 420 bps year-over-year Respectively Free Cash Flow of $23.9 Million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
free cash flow financial
"Free Cash Flow of $23.9 Million, up 28.5% vs Fourth Quarter"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
discontinued operations financial
"Myers Tire Supply Reported as Discontinued Operations; Myers Now Reports as One Operating Segment"
Discontinued operations are parts of a company that it has decided to sell or shut down, and no longer plans to run in the future. This matters to investors because it helps them understand which parts of the business are ongoing and which are being phased out, providing a clearer picture of the company’s current performance and future prospects. Think of it like a store closing a department—it no longer contributes to sales or profits.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"The Company uses certain non-GAAP measures in this release. Adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Focused Transformation program financial
"Gross profit and Operating income increased due to favorable mix, lower material costs, and lower manufacturing costs from our Focused Transformation program."
Net sales $164.6M +1.8% YoY
Income from continuing operations $13.8M +92.0% YoY
Diluted EPS from continuing operations $0.37 +94.7% YoY
Adjusted EPS from continuing operations $0.44 +57.1% YoY
Adjusted EBITDA $35.1M +27.0% YoY
Free cash flow $23.9M
Guidance

For 2026, management expects moderate growth in Industrial, strong growth in Infrastructure, stable Vehicle and Consumer markets, and slightly down Food & Beverage, excluding exited low-margin products.

Net sales increased 5% excluding the impact from our decision to exit approximately $5 million low-margin products with the idling of two rotational molding facilities in the fourth quarter of 2025. Infrastructure grew 26% and Consumer grew 14%, offset by soft Vehicle and Food & Beverage demand, down 14% and 12%, respectively.
Gross profit and Operating income increased due to favorable mix, lower material costs, and lower manufacturing costs from our Focused Transformation program.

Total liquidity was $289.3 million, including $244.7 million of availability under the revolving credit facility and $44.6 million in cash on hand.

Caution on Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this release include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including information regarding the Company’s financial outlook, future plans, objectives, business prospects and anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” or variations of these words, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, these statements inherently involve a wide range of uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. The Company’s actual actions, results, and financial condition may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Specific factors that could cause such a difference on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity include, without limitation, raw material availability, increases in raw material costs, or other production costs; risks associated with our strategic growth initiatives or the failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of such initiatives; unanticipated downturn in business relationships with customers or their purchases; competitive pressures on sales and pricing; changes in the markets for the Company’s business segments; changes in trends and demands in the markets in which the Company competes; operational problems at our manufacturing facilities or unexpected failures at those facilities; future economic and financial conditions in the United States and around the world, including the impacts of U.S. and foreign tariff policies; inability of the Company to meet future capital requirements; claims, litigation and regulatory actions against the Company; changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company; unforeseen events, including natural disasters, unusual or severe weather events and patterns, public health crises, geopolitical crises, and other catastrophic events; our ability to successfully execute our announced intended divestiture of the Myers Tire Supply business; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including without limitation, the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect our operating results, readers should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, nor use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or intention to provide updates to the forward-looking statements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them.

Income from continuing operations rose to $13.8 million, with diluted EPS from continuing operations increasing to $0.37 from $0.19, reflecting higher margins and cost savings.

What were Myers Industries’ key non-GAAP results for Q1 2026?

Key non-GAAP metrics improved meaningfully. Adjusted operating income reached $25.9 million with a 15.7% margin, adjusted EBITDA was $35.1 million with a 21.3% margin, and adjusted income from continuing operations was $16.7 million. Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations increased to $0.44 from $0.28.

Why did Myers Industries report a net loss in Q1 2026 despite stronger operations?

The company reported a net loss of $1.8 million mainly due to a $15.6 million loss from discontinued operations, primarily related to Myers Tire Supply. Continuing operations were profitable, but this discontinued loss offset the gains, resulting in diluted net EPS of $(0.05) for the quarter.

How is Myers Industries reshaping its portfolio and reporting structure?

The company is transforming its portfolio by selling Myers Tire Supply and exiting about $5 million of low-margin products, including idling two rotational molding facilities. It also realigned into one operating segment and updated non-GAAP calculations to exclude intangible amortization from adjusted EPS to reflect operating performance.

What is Myers Industries’ 2026 outlook by end market?

For 2026, Myers Industries expects strong growth in Infrastructure, moderate growth in Industrial, and stable conditions in Vehicle and Consumer, with Consumer influenced by normal storm-related demand. The Food & Beverage end market is projected to be slightly down, excluding the impact of exited low-margin products.
