Q1 2026 earnings summary3 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • First quarter net sales reached $537.3 million, up 1% year-over-year, driven by strong Dymatize growth but offset by lower Premier Protein sales and increased promotional activity.

  • Premier maintained a 22% RTD market share and best-in-class household penetration, while Dymatize saw 7.5% consumption growth, especially in eCommerce and international markets.

  • CEO announced retirement effective by September 30, 2026, with a national search for a successor underway and transition to a Senior Advisor role through 2028.

  • Operating profit declined 32% to $78.5 million and net earnings fell 43% to $43.7 million, mainly due to higher input and manufacturing costs.

  • The wellness category expanded to $24 billion, now including hydration, protein coffee, shelf-stable milk, and protein treats.

Financial highlights

  • Net sales for the quarter were $537.3 million, up 1% year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA of $90.3 million and a margin of 16.8%.

  • Gross profit was $160.8 million (29.9% margin), down from $199.6 million (37.5%) due to input cost inflation and unfavorable mix.

  • Premier net sales declined 1.2%, while Dymatize net sales rose 15.8% on strong international performance.

  • Interest expense increased to $20 million, reflecting higher borrowings.

  • Cash used in operating activities was $(3.1) million, with $97 million spent on share repurchases.

Outlook and guidance

  • FY2026 net sales guidance narrowed to 4%-6% growth, or $2.41-$2.46 billion.

  • Adjusted EBITDA guidance updated to $425-$440 million, with margins expected to decline 300 basis points year-over-year.

  • Q2 net sales growth expected at 3%-4% for both Premier and Dymatize, with second half acceleration anticipated as cost savings and innovation ramp up.

  • Management expects continued inflationary pressures on input costs and tariffs to impact supply chain and commodity cost volatility.

  • All prospective information is based on estimates as of February 3, 2026, and subject to significant uncertainties.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
