Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Tennant Company reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of $324.0 million, up 1.7% year over year, but profitability weakened. Net income declined to $7.6 million and diluted EPS to $0.44. Adjusted diluted EPS fell to $0.83, and Adjusted EBITDA dropped to $35.3 million with a 10.9% margin, down 510 basis points, as gross margin slipped to 39.5% and S&A and R&D spending increased.

Orders of $339.5 million grew 6.6% year over year, building backlog to $127 million, while AMR robotics sales were about $31 million, up roughly 37%. Organic sales declined 0.5%, with growth in the Americas offset by declines in EMEA and APAC amid ERP-related production and fulfillment constraints and softer demand in several markets.

Operating cash flow for the quarter was $5.0 million, down $17.5 million from a year earlier, and year-to-date operating cash flow was $(26.2) million, contributing to a net leverage ratio of 2.0x TTM Adjusted EBITDA. Liquidity included $76.9 million of cash and $289.4 million of unused revolver capacity. Management raised 2026 net sales guidance to $1.270–$1.310 billion but lowered full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $155–$170 million, with expected Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.2%–13.0%.

Positive

  • Orders up 6.6% to $339.5 million, with backlog reaching $127 million, supporting management’s decision to raise 2026 net sales guidance to $1.270–$1.310 billion and organic growth expectations of 3.5%–7.0%.
  • Autonomous mobile robot (AMR) sales of about $31 million, up roughly 37% year over year, reinforce progress toward Tennant’s stated $250 million AMR revenue target by 2028.

Negative

  • Q2 2026 net income fell to $7.6 million from $20.2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA declined to $35.3 million, compressing Adjusted EBITDA margin to 10.9% from 16.0% as ERP issues and EMEA pricing pressure weighed on profitability.
  • Operating cash flow weakened to $5.0 million for the quarter and $(26.2) million for the first half, reflecting higher receivables and inventories and lower payables tied to ERP-related working-capital inefficiencies.
  • Full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance was lowered to $155–$170 million, with an expected Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.2%–13.0%, indicating a more gradual margin recovery than previously anticipated.
  • Net leverage ratio rose to 2.0x TTM Adjusted EBITDA at June 30, 2026, from 1.0x at December 31, 2025, due to higher borrowings and negative year-to-date operating cash flow.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA(a) of $35.3 million, or 10.9% of net sales, declined compared"
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.
organic sales financial
"Organic sales, which exclude the effects of foreign currency and acquisitions, decreased 0.5%"
Organic sales are the change in a company’s revenue that comes from its existing business operations, excluding effects of acquisitions, divestitures, and currency swings. Think of it like measuring how much a garden grows from the plants you already tended, rather than adding new pots; investors use organic sales to judge whether demand and core business performance are genuinely improving or if growth is driven by one‑time deals or accounting shifts.
ERP modernization costs technical
"ERP modernization costs (S&A expense) represent the expense component of our broader ERP investment"
net leverage ratio financial
"The Company had a net leverage ratio (Adjusted Net Debt(a) / trailing twelve months (TTM) Adjusted EBITDA(a)) of 2.0 times"
The net leverage ratio measures how much debt a company has compared to its available assets or earnings, after accounting for its cash and liquid assets. It helps investors understand how heavily a company relies on borrowed money to finance its operations and growth. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more cautious approach to borrowing.
equity method investments financial
"Represents the Company's proportionate share of losses from its equity method investment"
An equity method investment is an accounting approach used when a company owns a significant share of another company and can influence its decisions but does not fully control it; instead of listing the investment at cost, the investor records its share of the other company's profits or losses on its own income statement and adjusts the investment value on the balance sheet. For investors, this matters because it links the investor’s reported earnings and asset values directly to the financial performance of that partly-owned business, similar to how a partner’s gains affect a small business owner’s books.
Net Sales $324.0 million up 1.7% versus the second quarter of 2025
Net Income $7.6 million down 62.4% versus $20.2 million in the prior-year period
Diluted EPS $0.44 down 59.3% from $1.08 in the prior-year period
Adjusted Diluted EPS $0.83 down 44.3% from $1.49 in the prior-year period
Adjusted EBITDA $35.3 million down 30.8% from $51.0 million in the prior-year period
Adjusted EBITDA Margin 10.9% down 510 basis points from 16.0% in the prior-year period
Guidance

For 2026, Tennant expects net sales of $1.270–$1.310 billion with organic net sales growth of 3.5%–7.0%, diluted EPS of $2.15–$2.80, Adjusted diluted EPS of $3.80–$4.45, Adjusted EBITDA of $155–$170 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.2%–13.0%.

Highlights
ERP stabilization held during the quarter, though the expected optimization benefits did not fully materialize, with residual inefficiencies in North America and continued pricing and volume pressure in EMEA weighing on results.
Orders of $339.5 million increased 6.6% year over year, growing across most regions and building backlog to $127 million, reinforcing healthy underlying demand.
Net sales of $324.0 million increased 1.7% year over year, reflecting price realization and favorable foreign currency effects, partially offset by an organic sales decline driven by softer volumes in EMEA and APAC.
Adjusted EBITDA(a) of $35.3 million, or 10.9% of net sales, declined compared to the prior year as gross margin and cost leverage fell short of expectations, driven by residual ERP-related inefficiencies in North America and pricing and cost pressure in EMEA.
Adjusted diluted EPS(a) of $0.83 declined compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower gross margin rates and higher operating costs, partially offset by the benefit of share repurchases.
Robotics momentum continued to build, with AMR sales of approximately $31 million increasing 37% year over year, underscoring progress toward the Company's $250 million AMR revenue target by 2028.

Page 2 – Tennant Company Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results
“Our second quarter results reflect solid demand and order growth, though margin recovery progressed more slowly than we expected,” said Dave Huml, Tennant President and Chief Executive Officer. “Orders grew across most of our regions, robotics revenue grew approximately 37%, and backlog continued to build, underscoring the strength of underlying demand for our products. At the same time, residual ERP-related inefficiencies in North America and margin pressure in EMEA weighed on profitability more than we anticipated. We are taking targeted actions to address these challenges. Reflecting the strength of our order book, backlog, and continued robotics momentum, we are raising our full-year net sales guidance while lowering our full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to reflect both the profitability impacts experienced in the first half of the year and a more measured pace of margin recovery in the second half.”
Net Sales
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $324.0 million, a 1.7% increase compared to consolidated net sales of $318.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. The components of the consolidated net sales change were as follows:

Foreign currency1.6%2.8%
Total1.7%2.2%
Organic Sales
Organic sales, which exclude the effects of foreign currency and acquisitions, decreased 0.5% in the second quarter compared to the prior year. This decrease was the result of price realization being more than offset by lower volume, reflecting production and fulfillment constraints in North America and softer demand in certain EMEA and APAC markets.

Operating Results
The gross profit margin of 39.5% in the second quarter of 2026 was 260 basis points lower compared to the second quarter of 2025. The margin rate decline was driven primarily by ERP-related recovery costs, supply constraints, and elevated freight and tariff-related material costs in North America. In EMEA, margin was pressured by competitive price concessions, volume deleverage, and unfavorable mix. These impacts were partially offset by price realization and cost management actions.
Selling and administrative ("S&A") expense totaled $99.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, a $5.8 million increase compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency, higher people-related costs and technology spend, partially offset by lower bad debt expense and other administrative expenses. S&A expense as a percentage of sales was 30.7% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 29.4% in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted S&A(a) as a percentage of net sales increased to 29.1% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 27.3% in the second quarter of 2025.
Research and development ("R&D") expense totaled $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by continued investment in innovation, including robotics and autonomous solutions.
Adjusted EBITDA(a) was $35.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $51.0 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA(a) was primarily due to gross margin declines coupled with S&A deleverage. Adjusted EBITDA margin(a) for the second quarter of 2026 was 10.9%, down 510 basis points compared to 16.0% in the prior-year period.
Net income was $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income(a) was $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $13.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower operating performance from gross margin compression coupled with S&A deleverage.
Adjusted diluted EPS(a) was $0.83 in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.49 in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by lower adjusted net income resulting from gross margin compression and S&A deleverage, partially offset by a reduction of approximately 1.5 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding versus the prior-year period.
Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Allocation
Tennant generated $5.0 million of cash flow for operating activities during the second quarter of 2026, a $17.5 million decrease compared to the prior‑year period, primarily driven by lower operating performance and increased working capital requirements, including higher accounts receivable and inventory balances and lower accounts payable. Working capital levels and cash conversion were adversely affected by operational and process inefficiencies associated with the North America ERP implementation, and management remains focused on improving working capital efficiency as stabilization and fulfillment efforts progress.
Liquidity remained strong with a balance of $76.9 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter, and $289.4 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Company's revolving credit facility.
The Company continues to strategically deploy cash flow to meet operational capital requirements and to return capital to shareholders in alignment with its capital allocation priorities. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company invested $5.3 million in capital expenditures and returned $5.3 million to shareholders through dividends. The Company remains diligent in managing its debt and maintaining a strong balance sheet. The Company had a net leverage ratio (Adjusted Net Debt(a) / trailing twelve months (TTM) Adjusted EBITDA(a)) of 2.0 times as of June 30, 2026.

2026 Guidance
Our first-half results reflect solid demand and order growth, though gross margin recovery progressed more slowly than we anticipated. Residual ERP-related inefficiencies in North America, together with pricing and volume pressure in EMEA and incremental freight and material costs tied to Middle East disruptions, weighed on margin performance during the second quarter. Order momentum remained healthy, with orders up 6.6% year over year and backlog building to $127 million, and robotics revenue grew approximately 37% year over year. Based on our first-half performance and our outlook for the second half, we are raising our full-year net sales guidance, reflecting our order and backlog position and continued robotics momentum, while lowering our full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to reflect the slower pace of margin recovery, as follows.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release and the related conference call include presentation of Non-GAAP measures that include or exclude special items of a nonrecurring and/or nonoperational nature (hereinafter referred to as “special items”). Management believes that the Non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition because they permit a more meaningful comparison and understanding of Tennant Company’s operating performance for the current, past or future periods. Management uses these Non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of the comparative operating performance of the Company.
The Company believes that disclosing S&A expense – as adjusted, S&A expense as a percent of net sales – as adjusted, operating income – as adjusted, operating margin – as adjusted, income before income taxes – as adjusted, income tax expense – as adjusted, net income – as adjusted, net income per diluted share – as adjusted, EBITDA – as adjusted, and EBITDA margin – as adjusted (collectively, the “Non-GAAP measures”), excluding the impacts from special items, is useful to investors as a measure of operating performance. The Company uses these measures to monitor and evaluate operating performance. The Non-GAAP measures are financial measures that do not reflect United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The Company calculates the Non-GAAP measures by adjusting for legal contingency costs, ERP modernization costs, ERP amortization costs, legal and financial advisory costs, restructuring-related costs, transaction and integration-related costs, equity method losses and amortization expense. The Company calculates income tax expense – as adjusted by adjusting for the tax effect of these Non-GAAP measures. The Company calculates net income per diluted share – as adjusted by adjusting for the after-tax effect of these Non-GAAP measures and dividing the result by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The Company calculates EBITDA margin – as adjusted by dividing EBITDA – as adjusted by net sales.
