Elgin, Ill, May 7, 2026 - The Middleby Corporation (NASDAQ: MIDD), a leading worldwide manufacturer of equipment for the commercial foodservice and food processing industries, today reported net earnings for the first quarter of 2026.
Tim FitzGerald, CEO of The Middleby Corporation said, “We delivered an extremely strong first quarter with outperformance at both segments relative to our expectations. Our Commercial Foodservice segment generated 8.1% organic growth, driven by continued double-digit growth with our dealer partners and better than expected performance with chains which returned to positive growth in the quarter. We’re particularly excited about the momentum in ice and beverage categories, where our strategic investments in recent years are allowing us to capitalize on emerging trends across the industry. Our Food Processing segment generated exceptional results with 25% organic growth, while backlog continued to grow, now standing at $416 million. In addition to our strong segment-level results, our aggressive capital allocation strategy continues, with over $520 million deployed in share repurchases so far in 2026, reducing our share count by approximately 7%, building on the 9% reduction achieved in 2025.”
FitzGerald concluded, “I am excited for what the next few months holds for Middleby. That starts today with sharing the excellent results we achieved across both segments and raising our guidance for the year. It continues next Tuesday during our Investor Day in New York as we lay out the vision for the exciting future ahead for both segments. Our portfolio transformation culminates with the planned July 6 separation into two pure-play standalone public companies, with a new and exciting chapter for both companies. Following this transaction, Middleby will operate as a focused Commercial Foodservice innovation leader with industry-leading 26% segment-level EBITDA margins, while Food Processing becomes an independent growth platform with segment-level margins over 20% and significant organic and acquisition expansion opportunities. We look forward to showcasing our long-term vision at our Investor Day next Tuesday as both companies unlock their full potential as independent leaders in their respective markets.”
