Open the filing on EDGARLifetime Brands, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend
GARDEN CITY, NY, August 6, 2026 - Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT), a leading global designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of branded consumer products used in the home, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Rob Kay, Lifetime's Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter results were in line with expectations and reflected notable growth compared to the prior year period that had been adversely impacted by the U.S. government implementation of initial high tariff rates across many countries. Net sales were up 7.4% and we saw significant earnings growth that includes the expected recovery of tariffs we paid in 2025. We will put that capital to work, paying the associated taxes, restoring reductions that had been implemented in 2025 to increase our bottom line against the impact from these tariff expenses and to fund the investments to bolster competitiveness and restore the balance sheet strength which we have used to fund the carrying cost of tariffs paid. Accordingly, since the end of the first quarter, we have repaid $40 million of term debt using cash generated from operations and the receipt of tariff refunds. The underlying business performed well despite softer end markets, led by growth in warehouse club programs and e-commerce. The relaunch of our redesigned Farberware line is off to an encouraging start and we extended our Dolly Parton license for an additional three years, reflecting the continued strength of that partnership. Our International segment again narrowed its losses and remains on track to achieve break-even in 2026, and the Hagerstown facility is online. While this new facility is experiencing startup challenges, we remain targeted for full operation by the fourth quarter this year. For 2026, we are reaffirming our net sales guidance, and raising earnings guidance to reflect the recognition of the tariff refunds. As previously announced, we look forward to presenting our longer-term strategy at our upcoming Investor Day this December.

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of a company; or, includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided because the Company's management uses these financial measures in evaluating the Company’s on-going financial results and trends, and management believes that exclusion of certain items allows for more accurate period-to-period comparison of the Company’s operating performance by investors and analysts.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures of performance. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
