Mohawk Industries Reports Q1 2026 Results

CALHOUN, Ga., April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mohawk Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MHK) today announced first quarter 2026 net earnings of $117 million and earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.90; adjusted net earnings were $117 million, and adjusted EPS was $1.90. Net sales for the first quarter of 2026 were $2.7 billion, up 8.0% as reported and down 2.6% adjusted for constant days and exchange rates versus the prior year. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company reported net sales of $2.5 billion, net earnings of $73 million and earnings per share of $1.15; adjusted net earnings were $96 million, and adjusted EPS was $1.52.

Commenting on the Company’s first quarter, Chairman and CEO Jeff Lorberbaum stated, “Our performance was in line with our expectations despite a challenging environment. Our results include benefits from productivity, restructuring and product mix, offset by inflation and volume. Last year was impacted by the system conversion and had four fewer days. Across our regions, the commercial sector continued to outperform residential. New home construction remained soft, and consumers continued to defer home purchases and remodeling projects due to economic uncertainty. We are implementing productivity actions and executing our previously announced restructuring projects to enhance our results. During the quarter, we repurchased 607,000 shares of our stock for $64 million as part of our current stock buyback authorization. Our strong balance sheet provides strategic and operational flexibility to take advantages of opportunities that arise.

At the end of February, the conflict in the Middle East intensified, increasing volatility in global energy markets. Higher gasoline and diesel prices were the fastest and most visible impact of supply disruptions and are contributing to a more cautious consumer outlook. Depending on the duration of the conflict, the economic impact will vary across our markets, with increased inflation reducing consumer sentiment and discretionary spending. Energy prices as well as the cost of oil and natural gas derivatives are increasing, which affects the cost of many of our products. We are implementing price increases across many product categories and geographies, and further price increases could be required. The impact of higher cost raw materials will be greater in the second half of the year due to our flow through of inventory. We are continuing to launch our new product collections, with industry-leading designs and features to enhance our sales and margins. We are implementing operational strategies that we have used to navigate past disruptions, which prioritize adaptability and cost control. We are maintaining flexibility to align with evolving demand, supply availability and volatile costs. We are focused on the controllable parts of our business, including sales initiatives, inventory levels, discretionary spending and capital investments. 

Turning to first quarter results by segment, net sales in the Global Ceramic Segment increased by 10.4% as reported, or decreased by 0.2% adjusted for constant days and exchange rates versus the prior year. The Segment’s operating margin was 4.7% as reported, or 5.0% on an adjusted basis due to higher input costs versus the prior year and lower sales volume, partially offset by productivity gains and improved price mix.

Net sales in the Flooring Rest of the World Segment increased by 12.2% as reported, or decreased by 4.4% adjusted for constant days and exchange rates versus the prior year. The Segment’s operating margin was 9.4% as reported, or 9.8% on an adjusted basis due to pressures from competitive industry pricing.

Net sales in the Flooring North America Segment increased by 2.0% as reported and decreased by 4.1% on an adjusted basis versus the prior year. The Segment’s operating margin was 0.4% as reported, or was 4.0% on an adjusted basis due to productivity gains, partially offset by higher input costs and pressures from competitive industry pricing.

One month into the second quarter, we continue to adapt our business to the changes caused by the Middle East conflict. Thus far, we have announced price increases across much of our portfolio due to inflation, and our order backlog has continued to grow. Across our regions, the commercial channel remains solid, while residential remodeling and new home construction could be impacted by lower consumer confidence. Our higher-end offering is performing better in the market, and our new products are enhancing our mix. We are maximizing our flexibility to react to changes in our supply chain, operating costs and market demand. Presently, we are containing costs, reengineering products and limiting capital expenditures. We will not see the full impact of our pricing actions and rising input costs until the third quarter. The degree to which the Middle East conflict will impact our markets depends on the duration of the disruptions and inflationary pressure. Given these factors and one less shipping day in the second quarter, we expect our adjusted EPS will be between $2.50 to $2.60, excluding any restructuring or other one-time charges.

We are managing all the aspects of the business we can control and responding to market changes as they arise. In the past, Mohawk has adapted to cyclical changes as well as dramatic market disruptions while enhancing our business for the long term. Increased new home construction is necessary to satisfy growing household formations, and we expect that deferred remodeling of the aging housing stock across our regions will significantly increase flooring demand. As we navigate the current conditions, we are prepared to capitalize on the rebound in our industry that lies ahead.”

US GAAP to non-GAAP presentation

The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP, with certain non-GAAP financial measures. As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the tables above present a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure. Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to the comparable US GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures, when reconciled to the corresponding US GAAP measure, help its investors as follows: Non-GAAP revenue measures that assist in identifying growth trends and in comparisons of revenue with prior and future periods and non-GAAP profitability measures that assist in understanding the long-term profitability trends of the Company's business and in comparisons of its profits with prior and future periods.

The Company excludes certain items from its non-GAAP revenue measures because these items can vary dramatically between periods and can obscure underlying business trends. Items excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP revenue measures include: foreign currency transactions and translation; more or fewer shipping days in a period and the impact of acquisitions.

The Company excludes certain items from its non-GAAP profitability measures because these items may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the Company's core operating performance. Items excluded from the Company's non-GAAP profitability measures include: restructuring, acquisition and integration-related and other costs, legal settlements, reserves and fees, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, acquisition purchase accounting, including inventory step-up from purchase accounting, adjustments of indemnification asset, adjustments of uncertain tax position and European tax restructuring.
