MILLER INDUSTRIES REPORTS 2026 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Sequential Revenue Growth Driven by Disciplined Production Increases
Ooltewah Capacity Expansion on Track
Strong Cash Flow Supports Capacity Expansion, Debt Reduction, and Shareholder Returns
Board of Directors Approves Dividend of $0.21 per Share
CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee, May 6, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- Miller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLR) (“Miller Industries” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided updates on its global strategic initiatives.
Q1 2026 Financial Results vs. Q1 2025
·
Revenue: $180.9 million, a 19.8% decrease from $225.7 million
·
Gross Profit: $25.7 million, a 24.3% decrease from $33.9 million
·
Gross Margin: 14.2%, an 80 basis-point decrease from 15.0%
·
SG&A Expenses: $23.9 million, a 3.0% increase from $23.3 million
·
Net Income: $555 thousand, a 93.1% decrease from $8.1 million
·
Diluted EPS: $0.05 per share, a decrease of 92.8% from $0.69 per diluted share
In addition, Miller Industries acquired Omars in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Based on preliminary valuation estimates, non-cash acquisition-related expenses associated with Omars—primarily tied to the sale of equipment adjusted to fair market value and amortization of the estimated intangible value of customer relationships—negatively impacted the Company’s financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2026 by approximately $0.13 per diluted share. The Company currently anticipates that this amount represents roughly one half of the total acquisition-related expenses expected to be recognized over the remainder of 2026. Miller Industries remains confident that the acquisition will be accretive in the first year after recognizing these non-cash acquisition-related expenses. The Company continues to work with its third-party valuation consultants, and the final amount to be expensed will be finalized upon completion of their analysis.
First Quarter Business Highlights
·
Delivered sequential revenue growth as the Company increased production to meet rising order intake.
·
Advancing site preparation for capacity expansion at Ooltewah to significantly enhance North American production capacity and support manufacturing for European and military operations; site expected to be ready for construction to begin by late summer.
·
Continued strong cash flow generation, supporting the capacity expansion, continued debt reduction and returns of capital to shareholders.
·
Returned $4.6 million directly to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases during the quarter.
“First-quarter performance was consistent with our expectations, as we continued to carefully increase production in response to improving retail activity and order flow, driving sequential revenue growth,” said William G. Miller II, Chief Executive Officer. “Near-term profitability continues to reflect elevated acquisition-related costs associated with Omars; however, we expect these expenses to moderate as the year progresses. Importantly, the business continued to generate solid cash flow, further strengthening our balance sheet and financial flexibility.”
Miller continued, “Late in the quarter, rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East led to higher diesel prices and increased macroeconomic uncertainty, which began to pressure retail demand. In response, we proactively paused our planned North American production increases at current levels to maintain balanced distributor inventory. While we expect these conditions to continue to impact both revenue and profitability in the second quarter of 2026, we remain cautiously optimistic that improving retail activity in the second half of the year will position us to achieve our full-year 2026 outlook.”
Ooltewah, TN Manufacturing Capacity Expansion
To support future growth, European needs and defense production commitments, Miller Industries previously announced the addition of a new 200,000+ sq ft facility at its Ooltewah headquarters site, at a cost of approximately $100 million. As the Company expects to continue its strong cash generation, Miller Industries anticipates funding the majority of this expansion through operating cash flow over the next several years.
This expansion is intended to:
1.
Increase Overall Production Capacity and Efficiency
·
With distributor inventories returning to historically average levels, production volumes are expected to rise in the second half of 2026 and return to a steady level to meet retail deliveries.
·
The new facility will significantly expand output capacity to meet growing domestic and international demand, reduce lead times, and reinforce Miller Industries’ global leadership in heavy‑duty recovery vehicle technology.
·
In particular, the expansion will increase output capacity for heavy‑duty recovery units, which remain the Company’s largest global export.
2.
Support European Demand Through U.S. Backfill, Integrated Capacity, and Regional Expansion
·
U.S. production will continue to serve as a critical backbone for European demand with the addition of Omars, the expansion of Jige’s heavy‑duty integration, and production enhancements at the Company’s Boniface facility.
·
The combination of Jige expansion, Omars integration, and Boniface growth supported by U.S. backfill capability will help to ensure production stability, improved lead times, and a fully integrated supply strategy globally.
3.
Prepare for Higher-Volume Global Military Production
·
With more than $150 million in military commitments and additional global RFQs underway, the new facility will be capable of supporting higher-volume global defense‑grade recovery vehicle production.
·
Military programs production is scheduled to begin in 2027 and accelerate into 2028 and 2029, requiring enhanced capacity, specialized equipment, and advanced production flow capabilities.
Return of Capital to Shareholders
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21. The dividend is payable June 8, 2026, to shareholders of record as of June 1, 2026, and represents the sixty-second consecutive quarter that Miller Industries has paid a dividend. Additionally, Miller Industries repurchased approximately $2.2 million of stock during the first quarter of 2026.
Pricing Actions and Cost Environment Update
Miller Industries continues to experience ongoing pricing pressure driven by tariff impacts, regulatory and compliance requirements, and the elevated cost structure associated with manufacturing in the U.S. While the Company implemented a surcharge in April 2025 to partially offset these pressures, continued cost increases have exceeded the coverage provided by that surcharge.
As a result, the Company announced that the existing surcharge will be rolled into its standard pricing structure. In addition, Miller Industries will implement a 3% price increase on all manufactured products invoiced after July 31, 2026. These actions are intended to better align pricing with the current cost environment while supporting continued investment in U.S. manufacturing, product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Management remains focused on disciplined cost control and operational efficiency initiatives; however, these pricing adjustments are necessary to help mitigate ongoing margin pressure and maintain the long-term sustainability of Miller Industries’ domestic manufacturing operations.
2026 Guidance and Production Outlook
The Company is re-affirming its previously issued revenue guidance of $850 million to $900 million for full year 2026 and expects earning per share to be generally in line with full year 2025 results.
Given geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and resulting higher diesel prices, Miller Industries expects production volumes to be weighted toward the second half of 2026. While macroeconomic conditions remain dynamic, the Company remains optimistic that revenue will approach $250 million per quarter by the second half of 2026. Gross margins are expected to return to historical levels in the mid-13% range for full year 2026, with revenue mix shifting toward historical levels of bodies and chassis.
The statements in the 2026 guidance and production outlook provided above are forward looking. Actual results may differ materially. See our cautionary note regarding “forward-looking statements” below.

Such forward-looking statements are made based on our management’s beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management.
