Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Co (HBB) Form 10-Q — Aug 5, 2026
Hamilton Beach Brands reported Q2 2026 net income of $33.7 million, up 657% from $4.5 million a year ago, on revenue of $142.6 million (+11.6%), with diluted EPS of $2.49 versus $0.33. The profit surge was driven largely by a one-time windfall: after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in February 2026 that the IEEPA does not authorize presidential tariffs, the company received $36.5 million of tariff refunds plus $1.2 million of interest, booked as a reduction of cost of sales. Excluding these benefits, Q2 gross margin would have been 26.1% versus 27.5% a year ago, and management states the benefits are non-recurring and will not persist beyond sell-through of affected inventory.
