Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend

Board Authorizes $20M Share Repurchase Program

GARDEN CITY, NY, November 6, 2026 – Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT). On November 5, 2026, Lifetime Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release disclosing, among other matters, its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Subsequent to the press release, the Company identified an inadvertent omission of Adjusted EBITDA, before limitations, for the trailing twelve-month period ended September 30, 2026, which was $92.4 million. This updated release clarifies the Adjusted EBITDA measures for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2026 and there are no other changes in the Company’s reported financial results. The updated release reads as follows.

GARDEN CITY, NY, November 5, 2026 – Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT), a leading global designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of branded consumer products used in the home, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Rob Kay, Lifetime's Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered net sales growth of 3.4% and expanded gross margin by 140 basis points in the third quarter as momentum continues across key parts of the business. International sales grew 18.8% and the segment approached breakeven as Project Concord takes hold. Home décor continues to grow, our Farberware relaunch is performing well, and our Dollar General partnership, launched in 2024, is on track to approach $20 million in sales this year. This year’s refinancing lowered our borrowing costs and strengthened our financial flexibility, and our new $20 million share repurchase authorization provides additional flexibility to return capital to shareholders. We look forward to sharing our capital allocation strategy and the tailwinds we see for 2027 at our Investor Day on December 1st.”

Lifetime Brands, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend

GARDEN CITY, NY, August 6, 2026 – Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT), a leading global designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of branded consumer products used in the home, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Rob Kay, Lifetime's Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter results were in line with expectations and reflected notable growth compared to the prior year period that had been adversely impacted by the U.S. government implementation of initial high tariff rates across many countries. Net sales were up 7.4% and we saw significant earnings growth that includes the expected recovery of tariffs we paid in 2025. We will put that capital to work, paying the associated taxes, restoring reductions that had been implemented in 2025 to increase our bottom line against the impact from these tariff expenses and to fund the investments to bolster competitiveness and restore the balance sheet strength which we have used to fund the carrying cost of tariffs paid. Accordingly, since the end of the first quarter, we have repaid $40 million of term debt using cash generated from operations and the receipt of tariff refunds. The underlying business performed well despite softer end markets, led by growth in warehouse club programs and e-commerce. The relaunch of our redesigned Farberware line is off to an encouraging start and we extended our Dolly Parton license for an additional three years, reflecting the continued strength of that partnership. Our International segment again narrowed its losses and remains on track to achieve break-even in 2026, and the Hagerstown facility is online. While this new facility is experiencing startup challenges, we remain targeted for full operation by the fourth quarter this year. For 2026, we are reaffirming our net sales guidance, and raising earnings guidance to reflect the recognition of the tariff refunds. As previously announced, we look forward to presenting our longer-term strategy at our upcoming Investor Day this December.
