The Middleby Corporation (NASDAQ: MIDD), a global leader in commercial foodservice solutions, today reported net earnings for the third quarter of 2026.

Tim FitzGerald, CEO of the Middleby Corporation said, “We delivered record third quarter net sales and strong organic growth across our commercial foodservice business. Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% from the prior year, and our performance exceeded the high end of our guidance ranges for net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS. These results reflect the benefits of our strategic investments, industry-leading innovation and continued focus on customer-driven solutions.”

Tim FitzGerald continued, “Following the successful separation of our Food Processing business and the launch of Midera as an independent public company, Middleby is now a focused, pure-play commercial foodservice leader. We remain committed to disciplined capital allocation and repurchased 1.0 million shares during the third quarter and 4.8 million shares year to date. Our strong third quarter performance and continued business momentum give us confidence to raise our full year 2026 guidance.”

(1) Includes amortization of deferred financing costs and convertible notes issuance costs.

(2) Brewing closure-related charges for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2026 included $20.0 million of non-cash impairments of long-lived assets, $5.5 million of non-cash other asset write-downs and $0.4 million of severance.

(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. 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) 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.

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. Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not available because the timing and magnitude of certain items cannot be reasonably estimated at this time without unreasonable effort.

The company believes that organic net sales growth, adjusted EBITDA, organic 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.
