WD-40 Company Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
WD-40 Company reported fiscal 2026 net sales of $688.0 million, up 11%, with maintenance product sales up 13%, and results in line with guidance across key metrics. The fourth quarter was weaker: net sales rose 8% to $176.8 million, but gross margin fell to 52.8% from 54.7% and diluted EPS dropped 32% to $1.06, pressured by higher specialty chemical input costs, incentive compensation and freight. Management called Q4 the gross margin low point and expects sequential improvement from Q1 fiscal 2027. FY27 guidance calls for net sales of $715-$735 million on a constant currency basis, operating income of $114-$120 million, and diluted EPS of $6.40-$6.70 (5-10% growth).
