Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. reported second quarter and first half 2026 results. Second quarter 2026 net sales were $151,943,000 compared to $153,190,000 in second quarter 2025. Net earnings were $13,347,000 versus $17,544,000, and net earnings per share were $0.18 compared to $0.23. First half 2026 net sales were $301,431,000 versus $299,711,000; net earnings were $31,008,000 versus $35,602,000, and earnings per share were $0.41 versus $0.47.
Management attributed performance to timing of sales, including seasonal sales between the second and third quarters, and higher trade promotions that reduce reported net sales. Gross profit margins were pressured by significantly higher cocoa and chocolate unit costs, elevated energy costs affecting freight and packaging, unfavorable international results, and increased marketing and professional fees. Effective income tax rates were 26.9% in second quarter 2026 and 33.1% in 2025, and 25.9% and 27.7% for the first half 2026 and 2025, respectively. The company expects lower cocoa and chocolate costs to benefit results in second half 2026 and into 2027 and continues to invest in manufacturing operations and brand support.
