Stran & Company Reports $31.2 Million in Revenue and Achieves EBITDA of $1.0 Million for the First Quarter of 2026
Conference Call to be Held Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time
Quincy, MA / May 12, 2026 / Stran & Company, Inc. (“Stran” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SWAG) (NASDAQ: SWAGW), a leading outsourced marketing solutions provider that leverages its promotional products and loyalty incentive expertise, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2026 ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update. Management will host a conference call at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, May 13, 2026.
First Quarter Financial Highlights
| ● | Sales: $31.2 million, an increase of 8.9% year-over-year |
| ● | Gross Profit: $9.6 million, an increase of 13.7% year-over-year |
| ● | Gross Margin: 30.9%, compared to 29.6% for Q1 2025 |
| ● | Net Income: $0.7 million, compared to net loss of ($0.4) million for Q1 2025 |
| ● | EBITDA: $1.0 million, compared to $(0.2) million for Q1 2025, an improvement of $1.2 million |
| ● | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments: $12.8 million as of March 31, 2026 |
“This quarter marks a meaningful inflection point for Stran,” said Andy Shape, Chief Executive Officer of Stran. “We delivered $31.2 million in revenue, up 8.9% year-over-year, alongside a gross margin of 30.9% — more than 100 basis points above the prior year period — and EBITDA of $1.0 million compared to EBITDA of $(0.2) million for Q1 2025. What gives us particular confidence is that this profitability was driven by both segments of our business. Our core Stran segment grew revenue nearly 12% while our SLS segment, which represents the integrated former Gander Group business, achieved a dramatic improvement in operating profitability, swinging from a loss from operations of $0.5 million in Q1 2025 to income from operations of $0.5 million this quarter. We believe Q1 2026 represents a turning point, and we are genuinely optimistic about the balance of the year.”
“The performance of our SLS segment this quarter deserves particular recognition. SLS’s gross margin expanded to 28.7% from 21.8% in Q1 2025 — a nearly 700 basis point improvement — driven by a more favorable customer mix and disciplined cost management. Combined with strong revenue momentum in our core Stran segment, where sales grew 11.9% to $23.4 million, total company gross profit increased 13.7% to $9.6 million, outpacing revenue growth and demonstrating the operating leverage we are building. We also continued to expand our client portfolio during the quarter, including a three-year contract extension with one of the world’s premier nonprofit running organizations, a new multimillion-dollar agreement with a leading gaming company, and the addition of two Global 100 law firms. These wins reflect the breadth of our capabilities and the increasing demand for Stran’s integrated marketing and branded merchandise solutions across a diverse range of industries.”
“Looking ahead, we believe 2026 is shaping up to be a year of sustained, profitable growth for Stran. We are seeing our enterprise clients engage with us more deeply than ever — not just for individual products or one-off campaigns, but across our full platform of promotional products, loyalty and incentive programs, e-commerce solutions, and fulfillment services. As clients adopt more of our capabilities, we become more embedded in their operations, which drives higher retention and more durable revenue. We also expect the operating leverage we demonstrated in Q1 to continue, as a growing revenue base is absorbed within our fixed cost structure. Backed by a strong balance sheet with $12.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of March 31, 2026, and with both the Stran and SLS segments contributing meaningfully to profitability, we are confident in our strategy and excited about what lies ahead for the rest of 2026.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA is a numerical measure that the Company believes helps investors to compare its operating performance to that of other companies. “EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) excluding interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the Company’s core operating results from period to period by removing (i) the impact of the Company’s capital structure (interest expense from outstanding debt), (ii) tax consequences and (iii) asset base (depreciation and amortization). EBITDA is a “non-GAAP financial measure” as defined under Regulation G under the Exchange Act. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded to calculate EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner.
The following table presents the reconciliation of EBITDA to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), as reported (unaudited):
