Karat Packaging Inc. (KRT) Form 10-Q — Aug 7, 2026
Karat Packaging posted record second-quarter results, with net sales of $136.3 million, up 9.9% year over year, and net income of $29.6 million, up 168.3% from $11.1 million. Diluted EPS rose to $1.46 from $0.54, gross margin expanded 1,700 basis points to 56.6%, and Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $41.6 million. The standout quarter was driven largely by a one-time benefit: the company recognized $26.7 million of IEEPA tariff refunds after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled those tariffs unconstitutional, boosting net income by $20.2 million.
