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.
