ELGIN, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Middleby Corporation (NASDAQ: MIDD), a global leader in commercial foodservice solutions, today reported net earnings for the second quarter of 2026.

Tim FitzGerald, CEO of the Middleby Corporation said, "The second quarter marked a transformational milestone for our company as we successfully completed the separation of our Food Processing business and launched Midera as an independent, publicly traded leader in food processing equipment. With this separation, Middleby is now a pure-play commercial foodservice company, focused on driving innovation and growth across the global foodservice industry. Throughout this transformation, we remained committed to disciplined capital allocation, repurchasing approximately 1.4 million shares, or 3% of our outstanding shares, during the second quarter and 8.7 million shares, or 16% of our outstanding shares, over the past six quarters. These actions underscore our confidence in the strength of our business and our commitment to creating long-term shareholder value.”

Tim FitzGerald continued, "We delivered strong second quarter results at our commercial foodservice business with 8% organic growth that was broad-based across channels, customer types, and regions. The strategic investments we have made in recent years are delivering results, and we continue to define the future of commercial foodservice through industry-leading innovation and customer-focused solutions. These results give us great confidence as we begin our journey as a pure-play commercial foodservice leader."

2026 Second Quarter Financial Results

All results presented are on the reported second quarter continuing operations basis, inclusive of Food Processing unless otherwise noted.

• Net sales increased 9.9% in the second quarter over the comparative prior year period. Excluding the impacts of acquisitions and foreign exchange rates, sales increased 6.4% in the second quarter over the comparative prior year period.
• A reconciliation of organic net sales (a non-GAAP measure) by segment is as follows:

($ in millions)	Commercial Foodservice			Food Processing			Total Company
Net Sales	$	630.6		$	244.9		$	875.5
Reported Net Sales Growth		8.6	%		13.3	%		9.9	%
Acquisitions		—	%		11.0	%		3.0	%
Foreign Exchange Rates		0.3	%		1.0	%		0.5	%
Organic Net Sales Growth^(1)(2)		8.3	%		1.3	%		6.4	%
(1) Organic net sales growth defined as total sales growth excluding impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rates.
(2) Totals may be impacted by rounding.

• Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $193.2 million in the second quarter compared to $181.6 million in the prior year.
• A reconciliation of organic adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) by segment is as follows:

($ in millions)	Commercial Foodservice			Food Processing			Total Company^(1)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	162.5		$	49.8		$	193.2
Adjusted EBITDA %		25.8	%		20.3	%		22.1	%
Acquisitions		—	%		—	%		—	%

(3) Totals may be impacted by rounding.

• Operating cash flows during the second quarter amounted to $99.7 million compared to $91.8 million in the prior year. Operating cash flows during the second quarter also include $7.5 million of payments of strategic transaction costs associated with the business portfolio transformation.
• Adjusted EPS excluding Food Processing is estimated to be $1.74 for second quarter compared to $1.40 in the prior year. These are preliminary estimates and will be finalized in Q3 2026 as the company reports the historical Food Processing results within discontinued operations. The growth in Adjusted EPS includes an increase related to organic growth, benefits from share repurchases and a discrete benefit related to foreign currency as part of the separation of the Food Processing business, partially offset by higher interest costs associated with the convertible notes maturity and a higher tax rate. Please reference the guidance section of the earnings release and our earnings slides for further details.
• The total leverage ratio per our credit agreements was 2.4x. The trailing twelve-month bank agreement pro-forma EBITDA was $787.7 million. Post spin the estimated total leverage ratio per our credit agreement was 2.7x.
• Net debt, defined as debt less cash, at the end of the 2026 fiscal second quarter amounted to $1.8 billion as compared to $2.0 billion at the end of fiscal 2025. Our borrowing availability at the end of the second quarter was approximately $2.6 billion.

(1) Includes amortization of deferred financing costs and convertible notes issuance costs.
(2) Adjusted diluted weighted average number of shares was calculated based on excluding the dilutive effect of shares to be issued upon conversion of the notes to satisfy the amount in excess of the principal since the company's capped call offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the convertible notes. The calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the principal portion of the convertible notes as this will always be settled in cash. Given the settlement of the convertible notes in the third quarter of 2025 the weighted average number of shares will no longer require an adjustment in 2026.

(1) These amounts represent Middleby excluding Food Processing and Residential which are to be considered preliminary and could change as the company finalizes discontinued operations.
(2) Includes amortization of deferred financing costs and convertible notes issuance costs.
(3) Adjusted diluted weighted average number of shares was calculated based on excluding the dilutive effect of shares to be issued upon conversion of the notes to satisfy the amount in excess of the principal since the company's capped call offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the convertible notes. The calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the principal portion of the convertible notes as this will always be settled in cash.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The company supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with this non-GAAP financial information to provide investors with greater insight, increase transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release do not have standard meanings and may vary from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The company believes that organic net sales growth, adjusted EBITDA, organic adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA, net debt, net leverage, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted per share measures are useful as supplements to its GAAP results of operations to evaluate certain aspects of its operations and financial performance, and its management team primarily focuses on non-GAAP items in evaluating performance for business planning purposes. The company also believes that these measures assist it with comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in its opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance including, for example, intangibles amortization expense, impairment charges, restructuring expenses, and other charges which management considers to be outside core operating results.

The company believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management and investors with a measure of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.

The company believes that its presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same information that Middleby uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance.
