Net Sales of $298 Million, a 2.7% Growth over Prior-Year Period
Adjusted EBITDA of $29 Million as Operational Stabilization Progressed through Quarter
Orders Increased 10% Year over Year, Reflecting Strong End-Market Demand
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (May 4, 2026)—Tennant Company ("Tennant" or the "Company") (NYSE: TNC) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
(In millions, except per share data) Three Months Ended

Net sales $ 297.9 $ 290.0 2.7 %

Highlights
•ERP recovery progressed steadily throughout the quarter, with core operational and customer‑facing processes showing clear improvement and performance strengthening meaningfully as the quarter progressed.
•Orders of $327 million increased 10% year over year, demonstrating strong and broad-based demand momentum.
•Net sales of $297.9 million increased 2.7% year over year, reflecting broad‑based pricing realization and favorable foreign currency effects, partially offset by lower volumes in North America related to ERP recovery impacts earlier in the quarter.
•Adjusted EBITDA(a) of $29.1 million, or 9.8% of net sales, exceeded expectations and improved sequentially as operating performance strengthened throughout the quarter, while elevated labor and freight costs tied to ERP recovery activities and ongoing ERP-related inefficiencies continued to pressure results.
•Adjusted diluted EPS(a) of $0.58 declined compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower gross margin rates and ERP‑related operating costs, partially offset by disciplined spending and the benefit of share repurchases.
•Returned capital to shareholders through share repurchases, with approximately $60 million deployed year to date, equivalent to about 5% of shares outstanding at the start of the year.

“Our first quarter results reflect strong net sales growth and solid order demand as we advanced key strategic priorities across the business,” said Dave Huml, Tennant President and Chief Executive Officer. “We saw robust order momentum throughout the quarter, along with strong robotics growth and other exciting developments that underscore the advancement of our key growth initiatives. During the quarter, we achieved meaningful ERP stabilization, with margin impacts decreasing each month as recovery efforts progressed, and we are now turning our focus toward optimization and efficiency. We are encouraged by this positive trajectory exiting the quarter and reaffirm our 2026 expectations.”
Net Sales
Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $297.9 million, a 2.7% increase compared to consolidated net sales of $290.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. The components of the consolidated net sales change were as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2026 vs. 2025
Price 4.2%
Volume (6.1)%
Organic decline (1.9)%
Acquisitions 0.5%
Foreign currency 4.1%
Total 2.7%
Organic Sales
Organic sales, which exclude the effects of foreign currency and acquisitions, decreased 1.9% in the first quarter compared to the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to volume declines in North America related to ERP impacts earlier in the quarter, partially offset by pricing realization in North America and EMEA.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Americas EMEA APAC Total
Organic sales (decline) / growth (3.0)% 1.0% (2.0)% (1.9)%
Americas(b): The 3.0% decrease in the first quarter was primarily driven by lower volumes in North America related to ERP impacts earlier in the quarter, partially offset by pricing realization in North America and increased rental and equipment volumes in Latin America.
EMEA(c): The 1.0% increase in the first quarter was primarily due to price realization and equipment volume increases in France and Germany.
APAC(d): The 2.0% decrease in the first quarter was primarily driven by lower pricing in China equipment sales and softer underlying demand, particularly in China, Australia, and Southeast Asia, partially offset by volume growth in India and Korea.

Operating Results
The gross profit margin of 38.1% in the first quarter of 2026 was 330 basis points lower compared to the first quarter of 2025. The margin rate decline was driven primarily by incremental labor, freight, and expediting costs associated with ERP recovery efforts earlier in the quarter, as well as a shift in customer mix toward strategic accounts, which carry a different margin profile. Tariff and other inflationary pressures were fully offset by price realization and cost-out initiatives.
Selling and administrative ("S&A") expense totaled $98.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, a $7.4 million increase compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in S&A expense was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency, legal and financial advisory costs, higher compensation and benefits, and software subscription fees. S&A expense as a percentage of sales was 32.9% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 31.3% in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted S&A(a) as a percentage of net sales increased to 29.6% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 28.7% in the first quarter of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA(a) was $29.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $41.0 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA(a) was primarily due to gross margin declines coupled with S&A deleverage. Adjusted EBITDA margin(a) for the first quarter of 2026 was 9.8%, down 430 basis points compared to 14.1% in the prior-year period.
Net income was $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $13.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income(a) was $10.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $10.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower operating performance from gross margin compression coupled with S&A deleverage.
Adjusted diluted EPS(a) was $0.58 in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.12 in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by lower operating performance from ERP recovery activities and ongoing operational stabilization efforts in the quarter.
Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Allocation
Tennant used $31.2 million of cash flow for operating activities during the first quarter of 2026, a $30.8 million decrease compared to the prior‑year period, primarily due to lower operating performance and higher working capital investment, including timing‑related increases in accounts receivable and inventory builds associated with ERP recovery.
Liquidity remained strong with a balance of $82.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter, and $289.3 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Company's revolving credit facility.
The Company continues to strategically deploy cash flow to meet operational capital requirements and to return capital to shareholders in alignment with its capital allocation priorities. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company invested $3.2 million in capital expenditures and returned $65.5 million to shareholders through $60.0 million of share repurchases and $5.5 million of dividends. The Company remains diligent in managing its debt and maintaining a strong balance sheet. The Company had a net leverage ratio (Adjusted Net Debt(a) / trailing twelve months (TTM) Adjusted EBITDA(a)) of 1.78 times as of March 31, 2026.

2026 Guidance
Our first quarter results support our reaffirmation of our expected full-year outlook. Following the two-week shutdown of our North American facilities to complete the physical inventory, operational execution improved meaningfully through February and March as ERP stabilization advanced and production and fulfillment capabilities normalized. Order momentum was robust throughout the quarter, with double-digit growth across both the Americas and EMEA reflecting healthy underlying demand. Pricing discipline held firm across product categories, helping to mitigate the ongoing cost pressures from tariffs and ERP recovery-related activities. With demand trends and operational progress consistent with our expectations for the year, we are reaffirming our full-year 2026 guidance as follows.
(In millions, except per share data) 2026

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release and the related conference call include presentation of Non-GAAP measures that include or exclude special items of a nonrecurring and/or nonoperational nature (hereinafter referred to as “special items”). Management believes that the Non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition because they permit a more meaningful comparison and understanding of Tennant Company’s operating performance for the current, past or future periods. Management uses these Non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of the comparative operating performance of the Company.
The Company believes that disclosing S&A expense – as adjusted, S&A expense as a percent of net sales – as adjusted, operating income – as adjusted, operating margin – as adjusted, income before income taxes – as adjusted, income tax expense – as adjusted, net income – as adjusted, net income per diluted share – as adjusted, EBITDA – as adjusted, and EBITDA margin – as adjusted (collectively, the “Non-GAAP measures”), excluding the impacts from special items, is useful to investors as a measure of operating performance. The Company uses these measures to monitor and evaluate operating performance. The Non-GAAP measures are financial measures that do not reflect United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The Company calculates the Non-GAAP measures by adjusting for legal contingency costs, ERP modernization costs, ERP amortization costs, legal and financial advisory costs, restructuring-related costs, transaction-related costs and amortization expense. The Company calculates income tax expense – as adjusted by adjusting for the tax effect of these Non-GAAP measures. The Company calculates net income per diluted share – as adjusted by adjusting for the after-tax effect of these Non-GAAP measures and dividing the result by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The Company calculates EBITDA margin – as adjusted by dividing EBITDA – as adjusted by net sales.
