WD-40 Company Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

~ Maintenance product sales increased 13%, up 6% in constant currency ~

~ GAAP and non-GAAP EPS was $1.50; non‑GAAP EPS increased 14% ~

~ Management reaffirms fiscal year 2026 guidance ~

SAN DIEGO — April 9, 2026 — WD-40 Company (NASDAQ:WDFC), a global marketing organization dedicated to creating positive lasting memories by developing and selling products that solve problems in workshops, factories and homes around the world, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2026.

Second Quarter Highlights and Summary:

•Total net sales were $161.7 million, an increase of 11 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter.

•Translation of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ results from their functional currencies to U.S. dollars had a favorable impact on net sales of approximately $9.3 million for the current quarter. On a non-GAAP constant currency basis, total net sales in the second quarter would have increased 4 percent to $152.4 million compared to the prior year fiscal quarter.

•Maintenance product sales were $156.8 million, an increase of 13 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. On a non-GAAP constant currency basis, maintenance product sales in the second quarter would have increased 6 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter.

•Gross margin increased to 55.6 percent compared to 54.6 percent in the prior year fiscal quarter.

•Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $54.8 million, up 12 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter.

•Advertising and sales promotion expenses were $8.8 million, up 19 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter. These expenses accounted for 5.5 percent of total net sales, up from 5.1 percent in the prior year fiscal quarter.

•Operating income was $26.3 million, an increase of 13 percent from the prior year fiscal quarter.

•Net income was $20.3 million, a decrease of 32 percent from the prior year fiscal quarter. In the comparable period of fiscal year 2025, the Company released an uncertain tax position that generated a favorable income tax adjustment of $11.9 million(1). Excluding this one-time benefit, non-GAAP adjusted net income increased $2.4 million, or 13 percent on a comparable basis.

•Diluted earnings per share were $1.50 compared to $2.19 in the prior year fiscal quarter, a decrease of 32 percent. In the comparable period of fiscal year 2025, the Company released an uncertain tax position that generated a favorable income tax adjustment of $11.9 million(1) or $0.87 per share. Excluding this one-time benefit, non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.32 compared to $1.50 in the current year fiscal quarter, an increase of 14 percent.

“We capitalized on strong momentum in the second quarter. Maintenance products remain our core strategic focus, and sales of these brands grew 6 percent in constant currency in the second quarter in line with our long‑term growth expectations,” said Steve Brass, president and chief executive officer. “Gross margin also remained solidly within our expected guidance range for fiscal 2026, expanding 100 basis points in the quarter. Recent supply chain initiatives are supporting gross margin in the near term, giving us time to take mitigating actions as needed.

“Looking ahead, we have clear visibility into the second half of the fiscal year. In the United States, robust promotional activity is expected to drive high single‑digit to low double‑digit growth in the Americas this fiscal

year. Alongside improving momentum in EIMEA and Asia‑Pacific, this performance is expected to help mitigate uncertainty related to any global economic and geopolitical conditions that may impact other areas of the business. With a number of growth initiatives planned across the business and momentum building across all three trade blocs, we are confidently reaffirming our full‑year fiscal 2026 guidance.”

Second Quarter Highlights by Segment:

Americas

•The Americas segment represented 44 percent of total net sales in the second quarter.

•Total net sales in the Americas increased 10 percent compared to the prior year quarter, driven by an 11 percent increase in maintenance product sales. This growth was primarily attributable to higher sales of WD-40® Multi-Use Product in the United States, where net sales rose by $5.0 million or 15 percent. United States sales grew primarily from higher volumes at select customers and online retailers driven by increased promotional activity and expanded distribution, along with modest price increases implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

•WD-40 Specialist® also contributed to the increase in maintenance product sales, with net sales up $1.3 million, or 17 percent, versus the prior year fiscal quarter, primarily due to increased distribution and enhanced product placement in the United States.

•Translation of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ results from their functional currencies to U.S. dollars had a favorable impact on net sales in the Americas. On a non-GAAP constant currency basis, net sales in Americas would have been $70.6 million for the second quarter, reflecting an increase of 8 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter.

EIMEA

•The EIMEA segment represented 40 percent of total net sales in the second quarter.

•Total net sales in EIMEA increased 9 percent compared to the prior year quarter driven by a 12 percent increase in maintenance product sales. This growth was primarily attributable to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Sales volume growth in EIMEA direct markets was offset by volume declines in EIMEA distributor markets.

•WD-40 Specialist® also contributed to the increase in maintenance product sales, with net sales up $1.2 million, or 14 percent versus the prior year fiscal quarter, primarily due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

•Higher maintenance product sales were also offset by a decline in homecare and cleaning product sales, which decreased by $1.5 million compared to the prior year quarter. The Company completed the divestiture of its homecare and cleaning portfolio in the United Kingdom during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. As a result, the Company does not expect any future revenue from these brands.

•Translation of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ results from their functional currencies to U.S. dollars had a favorable impact on net sales in EIMEA. On a non-GAAP constant currency basis, net sales in

EIMEA would have been $57.5 million for the second quarter, reflecting a decline of 3 percent compared to the prior year fiscal quarter.

Asia-Pacific

•The Asia-Pacific segment represented 16 percent of total net sales in the second quarter.

•Total net sales in Asia-Pacific increased 19 percent compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a 21 percent increase in sales of maintenance products. This growth was primarily attributable to higher sales of WD-40® Multi-Use Product in China and the Company’s Asia distributor markets where net sales rose by 18 and 17 percent, respectively. In China, this growth was driven by the timing of promotional programs and expanded distribution. Distributor market growth benefited from successful promotional programs and a strong rebound following the normalization of inventory levels.

•Net sales of WD-40 Specialist® increased 55 percent compared to the prior year quarter, driven primarily by strong sales in China supported by successful promotions and expanded distribution, particularly online and in the industrial channel.

•Homecare and cleaning product sales, which remain a strategic focus for the Company in Australia, decreased 2 percent due to the timing of customer orders.

•Translation of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ results from their functional currencies to U.S. dollars had an unfavorable impact on net sales in Asia-Pacific. On a non-GAAP constant currency basis, net sales in Asia-Pacific would have been $24.3 million for the second quarter, reflecting an increase of 16 percent compared to the prior year fiscal period.

Total $ 161,671 $ 146,104 $ 15,567 11 % $ 316,094 $ 299,599 $ 16,495 6 %

•Net sales of maintenance products, the Company’s primary strategic focus, represented 97 percent of total net sales in the second quarter. Maintenance products increased 13 percent compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher sales of WD-40 Multi-Use Product in the United States, China and the Company’s Asia distributor markets.

•Net sales of homecare and cleaning products represented 3 percent of total net sales in the second quarter. Net sales of homecare and cleaning products decreased 29 percent compared to the prior year quarter. The Company completed the divestiture of its entire homecare and cleaning portfolio in the United Kingdom during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. Sales related to these products were $1.5 million in the comparative period in the prior fiscal year. The Company previously announced its intent to sell its homecare and cleaning product portfolios in the Americas.

Dividend and Share Repurchase Update

•On March 16, 2026, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.02 per share. The dividend is payable on April 30, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 17, 2026.

•On June 19, 2023, the board of directors approved a $50 million share repurchase plan, which became effective on September 1, 2023. On June 16, 2025, the board extended the plan’s expiration date to August 31, 2026.

•The Company is authorized to acquire up to $50.0 million of its outstanding shares through the expiration date, of which $13.8 million remained available as of February 28, 2026.

•During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 38,175 shares at a total cost of $8.0 million.

•The timing and amount of share repurchases are determined by the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer in accordance with loan covenants and applicable regulations. Management has recently accelerated repurchase activity and has indicated that the Company will fully utilize the remaining authorization during fiscal year 2026, reflecting confidence in the Company’s long-term fundamentals.

Reaffirming Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance

The Company is reaffirming its previously issued fiscal year 2026 guidance. With strong visibility into the second half of the fiscal year, the Company remains confident in delivering solid full-year results within its guidance ranges. While the Company is closely monitoring ongoing geopolitical developments in the Middle East and acknowledges some variability in the near-term environment, full-year expectations remain intact. This guidance is presented on a pro-form basis, excluding the financial impact of the assets the Company expects to divest in fiscal year 2026.

•Net sales growth from the 2025 pro forma results is projected to be between 5 and 9 percent with net sales expected to be between $630 million and $655 million after adjusting for foreign currency impacts.

•Gross margin for the full year is expected to be between 55.5 and 56.5 percent.

•Advertising and promotion investments are projected to be around 6 percent of net sales.

•Operating income is projected to be between $103 million and $110 million. This range reflects anticipated growth of between 5 to 12 percent compared to 2025 pro forma results.

•The provision for income tax is expected to be between 22.5 and 23.5 percent.

•Diluted earnings per share is expected to be between $5.75 and $6.15 based on an estimated 13.4 million weighted average shares outstanding. This range reflects anticipated growth of between 5 to 12 percent compared to 2025 pro forma results.

This guidance is expressed in good faith and is based on management’s current view of anticipated results on a proforma basis. Unanticipated inflationary headwinds and other unforeseen events may further affect the Company’s financial results. Key assumptions include crude oil prices ranging between $95 and $115 per barrel and an average EUR/USD exchange rate of approximately 1.15 for the back half of the Company’s fiscal year. Net sales guidance presented on a currency adjusted basis use weighted average fiscal year 2025 foreign currency exchange rates. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in the divestiture of its homecare and cleaning brands in the Americas, its guidance would be positively impacted by approximately $12.5 million in net sales, approximately $3.6 million in operating income, and approximately $0.20 in diluted EPS for the full fiscal year.
