Gross margin rose to 33.1% from 32.1% as pricing, productivity and a $25 million refinement of customer program estimates more than offset volume declines, tariffs and inflation. Operating income increased to $34 million from $21 million, while net interest expense climbed to $84 million as the weighted average interest rate on debt rose to 6.9%.
Operating cash flow was an outflow of $233 million, reflecting seasonal working capital needs and higher inventories ahead of expected Q2 demand. Total debt stood at $4.97 billion, including $425 million drawn on a $1.0 billion secured revolving credit facility, leaving about $327 million of net availability. The company expects $75–$90 million of charges under its global Productivity Plan through 2026 and continues to face macroeconomic pressures, including tariffs and higher oil-linked costs.
Newell Brands reported first quarter 2026 results that beat its internal expectations but still showed declining sales and a net loss.

Gross margin improved to 33.1% from 32.1%, and operating margin rose to 2.2% from 1.3% as pricing and productivity offset inflation and lower volume.
The company posted a net loss of $33 million, slightly better than the $37 million loss a year ago, while normalized diluted loss per share widened to $0.05 from $0.01. Learning & Development grew core sales 2.0% and delivered an 18.9% normalized operating margin, while Home & Commercial Solutions and Outdoor & Recreation saw mid- to high-single-digit core sales declines and operating losses.
