Executive summary
Net sales for Q1 2026 rose 6.5% to $778.9 million, driven by the APS acquisition, though organic sales declined 4.3% due to softer U.S. demand and prior year storm activity.
Adjusted EPS was $0.31, down from $0.67 prior year, with a reported net loss of $3.4 million or $(0.05) per share, reflecting higher restructuring and input costs.
Free cash flow reached $124.2 million (15.9% of sales), enabling over $100 million in debt reduction and nearly $28 million returned to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases.
Strategic priorities focused on restoring growth, rebuilding margins, and returning to historical cash flow levels, with a foundation set for sequential gross margin expansion and earnings growth in the back half of the year.
Completed integration of APS acquisition and re-aligned manufacturing footprint to support margin restoration and efficiency initiatives.
Financial highlights
Adjusted gross margin declined to 34.9% (down 510 bps year-over-year), mainly due to higher input costs, tariffs, and lower APS margins; reported gross margin was 32.9%.
Batteries & Lights net sales grew 8.3% reported to $685.2 million, but declined 3.8% organically; Auto Care net sales dropped 5.6% to $93.7 million.
Adjusted EBITDA was $106.9 million, down from $140.7 million prior year.
SG&A expenses increased to $149.3 million (19.2% of sales), mainly due to APS, digital investments, and higher legal and stock compensation costs.
Operating cash flow was $149.5 million, with capital expenditures of $25.3 million.
Outlook and guidance
Fiscal 2026 guidance: organic net sales expected flat to slightly up, adjusted EPS $3.30–$3.60, adjusted EBITDA $580–$610 million, and free cash flow to exceed 10% of net sales.
Q2 2026 outlook: organic net sales down 4–5%, adjusted gross margin to improve sequentially by 300 bps, and adjusted EPS between $0.40–$0.50.
Project Momentum restructuring extended into 2026, targeting $15–$20 million in savings and $15–$25 million in tariff mitigation/cost avoidance.
Future production tax credits expected at $55–$65 million annually until phase-out begins in 2030.
Guidance excludes potential impacts from recent winter storms.

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.
