Exhibit 99.1

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.

Second Quarter Financial Results:

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $141.6 million, representing an increase of $9.7 million, or 7.4%, as compared to net sales of $131.9 million for the corresponding period in 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including constant currency net sales, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted income (loss) per common share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, before limitation. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of a company; or, includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided because the Company's management uses these financial measures in evaluating the Company’s on-going financial results and trends, and management believes that exclusion of certain items allows for more accurate period-to-period comparison of the Company’s operating performance by investors and analysts. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as indicators of business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures of performance. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

(1) For the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, warehouse relocation and redesign expenses were related to the U.S. segment.

(2) Pro forma adjustments represent operating expense reductions projected by the Company as a result of actions taken through June 30, 2026 or expected to be taken within 18 months of June 30, 2026, net of the benefits realized during the twelve months ended June 30, 2026.

(3) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined in the Company’s debt agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude income tax provision (benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization, gain on disposition of fixed assets, mark to market loss (gain) on interest rate derivatives, stock compensation expense, and other items detailed in the table above that are consistent with exclusions permitted by the Company’s debt agreements.

(1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, warehouse relocation and redesign expenses were related to the U.S. segment.

(2) The income tax provision adjustment is calculated using the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 of 0.0% applied to the goodwill impairment adjustment. The income tax provision adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 provides important comparative analysis because the effective tax method was unusual due to timing of certain non-deductible expenses, including goodwill impairment.

(3) Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 excludes acquisition-related intangible amortization expense, acquisition-related diligence expenses, restructuring expenses, warehouse relocation and redesign expenses, and mark to market gain on interest rate derivatives. The income tax effect on adjustments reflects the statutory tax rates applied on the adjustments and the income tax provision adjustment.

Adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 excludes acquisition-related intangible amortization expense, a legal settlement gain, net, acquisition related expenses, warehouse relocation and redesign expenses, severance expense, mark to market loss on interest rate derivatives, and goodwill impairment. The income tax effect on adjustments reflects the statutory tax rates applied on the adjustments. Adjusted net loss has been recast to include the income tax provision adjustment.

(4) Adjusted diluted income per common share is calculated based on diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of 22,612 and 21,686 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Adjusted diluted loss per common share is calculated based on diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of 22,325 and 21,639 for the six month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 include the effect of dilutive securities of 619 and 419, respectively. The diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 do not include the effect of dilutive securities.
