Griffon Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, May 7, 2026 – Griffon Corporation (“Griffon” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GFF) today reported results for the fiscal 2026 second quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Revenue for the second quarter totaled $421.9 million, a 1% decrease compared to $426.7 million in the prior year quarter, due to decreased volume of 6% primarily driven by residential, partially offset by favorable price and mix of 5% driven by both residential and commercial.

Income from continuing operations totaled $46.9 million, or $1.03 per share, compared to $49.8 million, or $1.06 per share, in the prior year quarter. Excluding all items that affect comparability from both periods, adjusted income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $48.1 million, or $1.05 per share, in the current year quarter compared to $49.5 million, or $1.05 per share, in the prior year quarter. For a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to adjusted income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure), and earnings per share from continuing operations to adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure), see the attached table.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the second quarter was $97.8 million, a 4% decrease from the prior year quarter of $101.7 million, driven by the decreased revenue noted above, the unfavorable impact of decreased volume on overhead absorption, and increased material costs. For a definition of adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), see the attached table.

“Our team delivered solid performance this quarter, and Griffon is on track for another strong year," said Ronald J. Kramer, Chairman and CEO of Griffon. "The strategic actions we announced in the quarter to streamline our business into a pure-play building products company are progressing well. Given our first half results, and continued confidence in our outlook, we are maintaining our financial guidance for the fiscal year."

"During our first half, we returned $72 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases while maintaining our net debt to EBITDA leverage," continued Mr. Kramer. "We will continue to follow our balanced capital allocation strategy to maintain our strong balance sheet while returning value to our shareholders."

Taxes

The Company reported pre-tax income from continuing operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and recognized effective tax rates of 27.8% and 26.3%, respectively. Excluding all items that affect comparability, the effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 27.7% and 27.8%, respectively.

Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and equivalents of $109.7 million and total debt outstanding of $1.4 billion, resulting in net debt of $1.3 billion. Leverage, as calculated in accordance with our credit agreement (see the attached table), was 2.4x net debt to EBITDA as of March 31, 2026 compared to 2.6x as of March 31, 2025 and 2.4x as of September 30, 2025. Free cash flow from continuing operations was $100.7 million and capital expenditures, net, were $17.6 million for the six month period ended March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $436.8 million, subject to certain loan covenants. For a reconciliation and definition of free cash flow from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure), to net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, see the attached table.

Share Repurchases

Share repurchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 totaled 0.4 million shares of common stock, for a total of $32.9 million, or an average of $78.03 per share. As of March 31, 2026, $247.0 million remained under the Board authorized share repurchase program. Since April 2023 and through March 31, 2026, the Company purchased 11.5 million shares of common stock or 20.1% of the outstanding shares, for a total of $610.9 million or an average of $53.21 per share.

Strategic Actions Update

On February 5, 2026, Griffon announced entering into a definitive agreement with ONCAP, the mid-market private equity platform of Onex Corporation (TSX:ONEX), to form a joint venture which will include the AMES U.S. and Canada businesses. In addition, Griffon announced the exploration of strategic alternatives for the AMES Australia and United Kingdom businesses, and the combination of Hunter Fan with the Home and Building Products (HBP) segment.

Griffon expects to close the joint venture with ONCAP by the end of June 2026. The strategic process for AMES Australia is active and ongoing, and Griffon is in the process of exiting the United Kingdom. Griffon expects these strategic actions to be completed by the end of the calendar year.
