SAN DIEGO — Oct. 21, 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 fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2026.

Fiscal Year 2026 Summary (Compared with Fiscal Year 2025)

•Net sales increased 11% to $688.0 million. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 7% to $666.2 million.

•Net sales of maintenance products increased 13% to $665.9 million. On a constant currency basis, maintenance product sales increased 9% to $644.7 million.

•Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 13% to $225.0 million.

•Advertising and sales promotion expenses increased 19% to $44.7 million.

•Operating income improved 5% to $108.9 million.

•Net income decreased 10% to $82.3 million, and diluted earnings per share were $6.08, compared with $6.69. The decrease reflects a favorable $11.9 million income tax adjustment in fiscal year 2025 related to the release of an uncertain tax position.⁽¹⁾

•Excluding that prior-year tax benefit and $1.3 million of amortization expense in fiscal year 2026 related to the reclassification of certain homecare and cleaning products in the Americas from held for sale to held for use, non-GAAP operating income improved 6% to $110.2 million, non-GAAP net income increased 6% to $83.7 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 6% to $6.18.

Fourth Quarter Summary (Compared with Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2025)

•Net sales increased 8% to $176.8 million. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 7% to $174.9 million.

•Net sales of maintenance products increased 9% to $170.5 million. On a constant currency basis, maintenance product sales increased 8% to $168.8 million.

•Gross margin decreased to 52.8% compared to 54.7%.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 19% to $58.2 million.

•Advertising and sales promotion expenses increased 26% to $15.8 million.

•Operating income decreased 32% to $19.1 million.

•Net income decreased 32% to $14.4 million, and diluted earnings per share were $1.06, compared with $1.56.

"Fiscal year 2026 demonstrated the resilience of our business and the strength of our execution," said Steve Brass, president and chief executive officer of WD-40 Company. “We grew net sales 11%, grew maintenance product sales at the top of our long-term target range, and delivered results in line with guidance. Our globally decentralized supply chain continued to be a competitive advantage, helping us navigate volatility, deliver exceptional customer service and generate cost savings.

"Our fourth quarter financial results reflect higher input costs and continued investment in our people and brands. Higher costs for specialty chemicals and other inputs pressured gross margin. Based on what we know today, we believe our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 marked the low point for gross margin, and we anticipate sequential improvement beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to performance-based incentive compensation earned by every employee, along with higher freight costs to keep products available for customers. Higher advertising and sales promotion expenses supported sales growth and brand building.

"We manage WD-40 Company for the long term. We see significant remaining opportunity for WD-40® Brand around the world and a long runway for growth. A resilient business model, durable competitive advantages, strong cash flow generation and disciplined capital allocation give us confidence in our ability to deliver sustainable growth and create long-term value for stockholders. Most importantly, our people turn that opportunity into results, and their commitment, capability and passion make our business stronger every year," concluded Brass.

•The Americas segment represented 46% of total net sales in the fourth quarter.

•Net sales of maintenance products increased 5% to $77.8 million. On a constant currency basis, net sales of maintenance products increased 4% to $76.9 million.

•The growth was primarily attributable to higher net sales of WD-40® Multi-Use Product in Latin America, which increased $2.7 million on strong performance in distributor markets, including Argentina and Ecuador, supported by improved inventory sourcing and distribution.

•WD-40 Specialist® delivered a $0.7 million increase in net sales, driven by new distribution, expanded placement with large retailers, and growth in online sales.

EIMEA (Compared with Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2025)

•The EIMEA segment represented 39% of total net sales in the fourth quarter.

•Net sales increased 10% to $69.2 million. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 10% to $69.0 million.

•Net sales of maintenance products increased 14% on both a reported and constant currency basis. Following the divestiture of the homecare and cleaning products portfolio in EIMEA in fiscal year 2025, maintenance products now account for all of the segment's net sales.

•The growth was primarily attributable to higher sales of WD-40® Multi-Use Product in the EIMEA distributor markets, led by India and the Middle East, which grew $2.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

•Direct markets also contributed, led by Southern Europe, where net sales of WD-40® Brand products increased $3.9 million on strong commercial execution, promotional activity and merchandising.

•Net sales of maintenance products, the Company’s primary strategic focus, represented 96% of total net sales in the fourth quarter. Net sales of maintenance products increased 9% compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher net sales of WD-40® Multi-Use Product in the United States, France and China.

•Net sales of homecare and cleaning products represented 4% of total net sales in the fourth quarter. Net sales of homecare and cleaning products decreased 18% compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease primarily reflects the Company's divestiture of its entire homecare and cleaning products portfolio in the United Kingdom during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net sales related to these products were $2.0 million in the prior-year period.

Dividend and Share Repurchase Update

•On October 8, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.02 per share. The dividend is payable on October 30, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 19, 2026.

•During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 30,895 shares at a total cost of $7.0 million.

•On June 15, 2026, WD-40 Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The

program became effective on Sept. 1, 2026. Repurchases may be made from time to time based on market conditions and other factors, subject to applicable laws, regulations and the Company’s existing debt covenants. The program has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Board’s discretion.

Fiscal Year 2027 Guidance

The Company is providing guidance for fiscal year 2027 as follows:

•Net sales growth is projected to be between 4% and 7% compared with fiscal year 2026, with net sales expected to be between $715 million and $735 million on a constant currency basis.

•Gross margin for the full year is expected to be between 54.0% and 55.5%.

•Advertising and promotion investments are projected to be approximately 6% of net sales.

•Operating income is projected to be between $114 million and $120 million, representing growth of 5% to 10% compared with fiscal year 2026.

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

•Diluted earnings per share is expected to be between $6.40 and $6.70, representing growth of 5% to 10% compared with fiscal year 2026, based on an estimated 13.4 million weighted average shares outstanding.

This guidance is expressed in good faith and is based on management's current view of anticipated results. It assumes no material changes in the current economic environment and that crude oil prices remain near current levels through the first half of fiscal 2027 before moderating in the second half. Unanticipated inflationary pressures or other unforeseen events may affect the Company's financial results. Net sales presented on a non-GAAP constant currency basis use weighted average fiscal year 2026 foreign currency exchange rates.
