Introduces Fiscal 2026 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance that Implies Approximately 200 Basis Points of Margin Improvement at the Midpoint
DULUTH, Georgia, February 26, 2026 - Fox Factory Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: FOXF) (“FOX” or the “Company”), a premium brand and a global leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of performance-defining products and systems for customers worldwide, today reported financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended January 2, 2026.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights
- Net sales increased 2.3% year-over-year to $361.1 million
- Net loss of $287.0 million, or $6.86 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter
- Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.20, compared to $0.31 in the prior year quarter
- Adjusted EBITDA of $35.0 million
- Paid down incremental $13 million in debt in the quarter, as compared to third quarter end
Full Year Fiscal 2025 Highlights
- Net sales increased 5.3% year-over-year to $1.467 billion
- Gross margin of 30.2% was down 20 basis points year over year
- Phase 1 of profit optimization plan yielded approximately $25 million in savings, primarily offset by realized net tariff impact of approximately $25 million
- Paid down $33 million in debt year-over-year
Mike Dennison, FOX’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Fiscal 2025 was a year of both challenges and meaningful progress for Fox Factory. Despite ongoing headwinds across our end markets, we delivered consolidated revenue growth while successfully executing our Phase 1 profit optimization plan, which yielded approximately $25 million in realized cost savings for the year and helped us mitigate the full effect of tariffs during the year. This comprehensive effort, focused on footprint optimization and continuous improvement across all three operating segments, demonstrated our ability to grow revenue in challenging conditions while executing critical operational initiatives.”
Mr. Dennison continued, “Our work is far from complete however. We are taking comprehensive actions to restore our historical adjusted EBITDA margins in the mid-to-high teens and accelerate our path to balance sheet improvement. We are fundamentally repositioning Fox Factory by engineering a more efficient foundation so we can deliver greater operating leverage as growth returns to our end markets. In response to the persistent cyclical and tariff headwinds, we have launched Phase 2 of our profit optimization strategy, which has our teams refocusing on our core, high-margin products and streamlining our operations for maximum efficiency. This includes business line rationalization, supply chain and materials cost productivity and operating expense reductions that, together, represent additional targeted savings of approximately $40 million to be realized in 2026. These aggressive actions, combined with the benefits of our 2025 actions, are designed to support margin improvement of approximately 200 basis points in 2026, despite operating in a subdued environment where revenue growth has slowed.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Results
Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were $361.1 million, an increase of 2.3%, as compared to net sales of $352.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. This increase reflects a $14.0 million or 12.5% increase in Aftermarket Applications Group (“AAG”) net sales, and a $0.5 million or 0.4% increase in Powered Vehicles Group (“PVG”) net sales, partially offset by a $6.3 million or 5.0% decrease in Specialty Sports Group (“SSG”) net sales. The increase in AAG net sales from $112.2 million to $126.2 million is driven by improved performance in our upfitting product lines and increased demand for aftermarket products; however, high interest rates, high vehicle costs, and macroeconomic conditions continue to impact dealers and consumers. The increase in PVG net sales from $116.2 million to $116.7 million is mainly attributed to the Marzocchi acquisition, largely offset by an aluminum supply chain disruption at a major original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) partner which slowed production and lower industry demand in the automotive original equipment (“OE”) product lines. The decrease in SSG net sales from $124.5 million to $118.2 million reflects both lower diamond sports products and bike sales and was primarily due to OEM, distributors, and dealers reducing inventory levels in response to market-wide economic conditions.
Gross margin was 28.3% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to gross margin of 28.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the unmitigated impact of tariffs and shifts in our product line mix.
Total operating expenses were $408.1 million, or 113.0% of net sales, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $90.6 million, or 25.7% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Operating expenses increased by $317.5 million driven primarily by the impact of goodwill impairment (see Balance Sheet Summary below for details), intangible and long-lived asset impairment, and organizational restructuring initiatives. Adjusted operating expenses were $82.6 million, or 22.9% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $76.4 million, or 21.7% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Income tax benefit was $33.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate of 10.3% and the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily attributable to the impairment of non-deductible goodwill recognized during period.
Net loss attributable to FOX stockholders in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $287.0 million, compared to net loss attributable to FOX stockholders of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net loss per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $6.86, compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.00 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $8.3 million, or $0.20 of adjusted earnings per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $12.8 million, or $0.31 of adjusted earnings per diluted share, in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $35.0 million, compared to $40.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was 9.7%, compared to 11.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
Fiscal 2025 Results
Net sales for the year ended January 2, 2026, were $1,467.3 million, an increase of 5.3% compared to the year ended January 3, 2025. This increase reflects a $48.5 million or 11.5% increase in AAG net sales and a $26.7 million or 5.8% increase in PVG net sales, partially offset by a $1.9 million or 0.4% decrease in SSG net sales. The increase in AAG net sales from $421.5 million to $470.0 million was driven by increased demand for aftermarket products and improved performance in our upfitting product lines; however, high interest rates, high vehicle costs, and macroeconomic conditions impacting dealers and consumers continue to pose challenges. The increase in PVG net sales from $461.4 million to $488.1 million is primarily due to higher sales from the Marzocchi acquisition, which offset lower industry demand in automotive OE product lines and powersports. The decrease in SSG net sales from $511.1 million to $509.2 million is mainly due to lower diamond sports products sales partially offset by higher bike sales.
Gross margin was 30.2% in the year ended January 2, 2026, compared to gross margin of 30.4% in the year ended January 3, 2025. Adjusted gross margin, excluding the effects of the amortization of an acquired inventory markup and organizational restructuring expenses, was 30.2% in the year ended January 2, 2026, compared to 30.8% in the year ended January 3, 2025. The decrease in adjusted gross margin is primarily driven by the impact of tariffs and shifts in our product line mix.
Total operating expenses were $966.2 million, or 65.8% of net sales, in the year ended January 2, 2026, compared to $365.9 million, or 26.3% of net sales in the year ended January 3, 2025. Operating expenses increased by $600.3 million primarily due to the impact of goodwill impairment of $557.3 million, intangible and long-lived asset impairment of $13.5 million, organizational restructuring expenses of $12.7 million, and higher investments in research and development and sales and marketing to support future growth and product innovation. Adjusted operating expenses were $336.2 million in the year ended January 2, 2026, compared to $310.9 million in the year ended January 3, 2025.
Net loss attributable to FOX stockholders in the year ended January 2, 2026 was $544.6 million, compared to net income attributable to FOX stockholders of $6.6 million in the year ended January 3, 2025. Net loss per diluted share for the year ended January 2, 2026 was $13.03, compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.16 in fiscal 2024. Adjusted net income in the year ended January 2, 2026 was $44.6 million, or $1.06 of adjusted earnings per diluted share, compared to $55.4 million, or $1.33 of adjusted earnings per diluted share in the prior fiscal year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $168.4 million in the year ended January 2, 2026, compared to $167.0 million in the year ended January 3, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.5% in the year ended January 2, 2026, compared to 12.0% in the prior fiscal year.
Reconciliations to non-GAAP measures are provided at the end of this press release.
Balance Sheet Summary
As of January 2, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $58.0 million, compared to $71.7 million as of January 3, 2025. Inventory was $388.6 million as of January 2, 2026, compared to $404.7 million as of January 3, 2025. As of January 2, 2026, accounts receivable and accounts payable were $190.7 million and $141.4 million, respectively, compared to $165.8 million and $135.8 million, respectively, as of January 3, 2025. Prepaids and other current assets were $108.4 million as of January 2, 2026, compared to $85.4 million as of January 3, 2025. Goodwill was $83.6 million as of January 2, 2026, compared to $639.5 million as of January 3, 2025. Total debt was $673.5 million as of January 2, 2026 compared to $705.1 million as of January 3, 2025.
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to capital expenditures, debt repayments, and changes in working capital. Inventory decreased by $16.1 million, driven by our strong execution of continuous improvement efforts to optimize inventory levels across the organization, particularly within PVG, which offset some of the impact from higher tariffs. The increase in accounts receivable is due to higher sales in the fiscal quarter ended January 2, 2026 compared to the fiscal quarter ended January 3, 2025 and timing of collections. The increase in accounts payable reflects the timing of vendor payments.
Goodwill decreased after the Company conducted its quantitative impairment assessments in the first and the fourth quarters of fiscal 2025, both of which resulted in non-cash impairment charges. The first-quarter assessment was triggered by adverse changes to U.S. tariff policies, including new and expanded tariffs enacted by the current presidential administration, and resulting sustained decline in the Company’s stock price. The fourth-quarter assessment was triggered by a further sustained decline in the Company’s stock price.
Announces Phase 2 Profit Optimization Strategy and Strategic Alternatives Review
Building on the successful execution of its Phase 1 profit optimization plan, which delivered approximately $25 million in realized savings in fiscal 2025, the Company has launched Phase 2 of its profit optimization strategy targeting approximately $40 million in additional savings to be realized in fiscal 2026. The combined impact of 2025 Phase 1 actions that will benefit 2026 and today’s announcement of Phase 2 actions is expected to result in approximately $50 million of realized savings in fiscal 2026. Phase 2 comprises three strategic elements: business line rationalization to exit operations that are not accretive from a margin perspective; supply chain and materials cost productivity through improved facility utilization and supplier actions; and a reduction in operating expenses across sales, marketing, and G&A functions. Concurrent with these efforts, the Board of Directors is reviewing strategic alternatives for Marucci and other non-core assets to ensure the portfolio aligns with the Company's profitability standards and strategic objectives. As part of this review, the Company expects to divest its Phoenix, Arizona AAG operations, including the Upfit UTV, Geiser, and Shock Therapy businesses, by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company expects:
- Net sales in the range of $343 million to $369 million
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $27 million to $34 million
For the fiscal year 2026, the Company expects:
- Net sales in the range of $1.328 billion to $1.416 billion
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $174 million to $203 million
A quantitative reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2026 is not available without unreasonable efforts because management cannot predict, with sufficient certainty, all of the elements necessary to provide such a reconciliation. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”), FOX includes in this press release certain non-GAAP financial measures consisting of “adjusted gross profit,” “adjusted gross margin,” “adjusted operating expense,” “adjusted operating expense margin”, “adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings per share,” “adjusted EBITDA,” and “adjusted EBITDA margin,” all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. FOX defines adjusted gross profit as gross profit adjusted for the amortization of acquired inventory valuation markups and cost of goods sold associated with organizational restructuring. Adjusted gross margin is defined as adjusted gross profit divided by net sales. FOX defines adjusted operating expense as operating expense adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment, intangible and long-lived asset impairment, litigation and settlement-related expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, and certain strategic transformation costs. FOX defines adjusted operating expense margin as adjusted operating expense divided by net sales. FOX defines adjusted net (loss) income as net (loss) income attributable to FOX stockholders adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment, intangible and long-lived asset impairment, litigation and settlement-related expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, and strategic transformation costs, all net of applicable tax. Adjusted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of basic or diluted shares of common stock outstanding during the period. FOX defines adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income adjusted for interest expense, net other expense, income taxes or tax benefits, amortization of purchased intangibles, goodwill impairment, intangible and long-lived asset impairment, depreciation, stock-based compensation, litigation and settlement related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses and related losses, acquisition and integration-related expenses and strategic transformation costs that are more fully described in the tables included at the end of this press release. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. These adjustments are more fully described in the tables included at the end of this press release.
FOX includes these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with additional insight on the Company’s operating performance and trends, as well as to supplement their understanding of the results of the Company’s core operations. In particular, the exclusion of certain items in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures consisting of adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expense, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA (and accordingly, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expense margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA margin) can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, including the fact that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies because other companies may calculate adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating expense margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin differently than FOX does. For more information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables included at the end of this press release.
