Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. (TR) reported that its subsidiary, Tutsi, S.A. de C.V., completed the acquisition of the confectionery business of The Klass Company in Mexico on September 1, 2026, including the Winis brand. The company states that this acquisition is expected to complement its existing Mexico confectionery business, which features the Tutsi Pop brand.
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.
Tootsie Roll Industries reported the results of its annual shareholder meeting held on May 6, 2026. Shareholders elected six directors to serve until the next annual meeting. Each nominee, including Ellen R. Gordon and Virginia L. Gordon, received a large majority of votes cast.
Shareholders also ratified Grant Thornton LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. In addition, the advisory vote on executive compensation for fiscal 2025 was approved, indicating broad shareholder support for the company’s pay practices for named executive officers.
Tootsie Roll Industries reported modest first quarter 2026 growth in sales but slightly lower profits. Net sales were $149,488,000, up from $146,521,000 in first quarter 2025, a 2% increase. Net earnings were $17,661,000 versus $18,058,000, while net earnings per share held steady at $0.24 in both periods.
Management cited successful marketing and trade promotions as sales drivers but noted gross profit margins were pressured by significantly higher cocoa and chocolate unit costs, unfavorable international results, and increased trade promotions. The company benefited from higher investment income, but its effective income tax rate rose to 25.1% from 21.6%, weighing on earnings. Tootsie Roll is continuing to invest in manufacturing capacity and efficiency and expects lower cocoa and chocolate costs to flow through its supply chain in late 2026 and into 2027.
Tootsie Roll Industries reported modestly higher sales and significantly stronger profits for the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

Earnings per share increased to $0.40 from $0.31, a 29% gain driven by improved margins and higher investment income despite higher ingredient costs and unfavorable foreign exchange.
For the full year 2025, net sales were $724.7 million compared with $715.5 million in 2024, and net earnings grew to $100.1 million from $86.8 million. Earnings per share increased to $1.37 from $1.18, supported by pricing actions, marketing initiatives, and investment income, partially offset by elevated cocoa and packaging costs, tariff expenses, and adverse foreign operations.
